>> it is. >> you have a photo? >> oh, are we going to haul it up right now? there it is. that is my sister. i'm there on the left. that is my sister sally in the little carriage, and mary is in the car seat. that's the first mother's day altogether. >> are you driving? >> i was driving, yes. they start them young in fairfax county, virginia, when i was little. >> you must be in the u.k. or australia or something on the other side. peter, thank you so much. >> yep. we have other stories making headlines this sunday morning. we want to get to the embattled phoenix v.a. is getting a new health chief. steve young who is head of the salt lake v.a. will shift to phoenix tomorrow as interim director. young will now oversee health care for 85,000 veterans. the move comes after heavy criticism over allegations of hiding treatment delays that alleged to the death of 40 veterans. many organizations have called for the resignation of v.a. secretary eric shinseki. and shoppers at a mall think they hair gunshots. it turns out that noise was actually exploding car tires. paramus police say a car went up in flames at the garden state plaza mall and minutes later people reported to hear the mall was evacuated as a precaution. police found no evidence of gunfire or a gunman. this is the same mall where a 20-year-old man fired shots into the air in november before turning the gun on himself. and the search is on for three missing boaters in falsom lake outside of sacramento, california. the 40-foot boat capsized and the three passengers aboard haven't been seen since. windy weather and choppy weather hasn't helped the search earth as boats, helicopters and divers scour the lake. they called off the search as darkness fell with the search resuming this morning. well, tomorrow marks the first day in almost three years a tourist will be allowed to visit the washington monument. the national landmark closed in the summer of 2011 after an earthquake shook the entire structure damaging it quite badly. repairs cost $15 million, half of which were paid by philanthropist david rubenstein. those are your headlines. paid for by an individual, that's the only thing working in washington. pretty unbelievable. we have been following from the very beginning the aftermath of the benghazi tragedy almost two years ago. here's the very latest, so there is a special committee that has been formed by republicans. democrats have not decided whether they will be part of that. seven republicans have been selected for the select committee. there will be five democratic seats, but nancy pelosi has nod decided whether or not to allow members of the caucus to join them. the congressman of georgia made this point in response to what you heard from democrats lately, who cares, it's over. here's her response to that. >> it's just a continuation of the message that secretary of state then clinton said what difference does it make? well, it makes a big difference to the american people. the american people want to know the truth about what happened that night and in the early hours of the next day. they want to know the truth. and we owe the truth to them and we owe it to those four families that had loved ones murdered in this attack. >> and the idea of how many investigations are we going to have? we need to figure out exactly what happened and when the promise of the most transparent presidency in history doesn't seem to be coming to fruition when congress can't get the same documents that a nonprofit judicial watch had to sue for, even the freedom information act, points to a cover-up. >> right. and the documents continue to trickle out as late as last week they continue to come out. so i find it amazing the democrats are continuing to criticize this and yet to tucker's point, they have not decided to join the select committee or not. so they will just insult it and mock it to say it's a political stunt. last night on "judge jeanine" this man has this to say about the entire process. >> i would scream from my lungs forward. justice deserves to be served. if they don't, they have so much to lose, it tells americans they are not interested in the truth and interested about a video, and that includes the president, judge, as well. he was the one that went in front of the united nations to talk about the video, even back then, two weeks after benghazi. so they are not interested in the truth, they are only interested in their narratives. >> and not participating in this seams like the political stunt that nancy pelosi is accusing john boehner of doing. it seems like just the opposite is actually happening. >> we are a long way of healing these wounds. if somebody, anybody were taken into custody for these murders. news organizations have been able to interview suspects in this case, but the u.s. government -- >> we can't track them but we can track american citizens. here's a question, have you been critical of common core? many have. i might be, but there's a legitimate debate about common core, but not according to the southern poverty law center. the self-described civil rights group in georgia issued a report recently that said groups that criticize common core, the federal education standards are right-wing extremists. >> they specifically point out fox news and by having a discussion say this, the disinformation campaign is being driven by the likes of fox news, the john burkes society, tea party faction and the christian right. we've had healthy debates on both sides of the common core debate. parents are outraged about it and also administrators like common core. we have had a healthy debate about it here. so it is fox news to blame for the problem of common core, not the implementation of it across states across this country, the way educators are not implementing it, it's been done by administrators, but it is our fault as fox news. >> here's the problem, again, there's legitimate debate about common core. this does not abate that debate. this shuts it down. this is another example of the left using bigotry to get people they disagree with to shut up. this is not inviting people to have a rational discussion about anything. it's saying, be quiet, you disagree with you, you're a bigot. >> we are trying to get the same kids to learn the same thing at the same time across the country, and have this uniform set of standards, but it doesn't work for everyone. so clearly that's one of the biggest problems. one of the great things about it is they are trying to get more people to graduate and be able to pass the tests in order to get their high school diploma and then go to college and graduate from there. >> coming up, we'll show you a math problem that takes six steps to do and it takes one step to do it. so there could be issues. >> one less thing you saw from president obama the other day on global warming, there's no debate. anyone who engages in it is a neatndrethal. >> you can weigh in on foxnews.com. and let's go to rick reichmuth and his mother's day forecast. >> or there's not enough meteorology in common core. we should have a lot more of that. this morning you're waking up to things better that yesterday on the east coast. it will be a nice day for all the moms across new england and the southeast. things are clearing out. the central part of the country is where the problems are going to be. big storms moving in near i-80 near nebraska. some are already severe. and we have the storm pulmoing into the rockies bringing snow from the wasatch of utah to the colorado rockies. and it will be heavy. big-time winter snow still. take a look at this. today's severe weather threat anywhere in yellow with the threat for severe weather, but the red bull's-eye could be a large track tornadoes, especially across nebraska and iowa. starting midday today, we'll have to watch for the tornado threat in that area. >> thank you, rick. coming up here on the show, it's the latest veterans affair bombshell. e-mails revealing employees at the v.a. hospital in wyoming were instructed to manipulate patient records. and worse, the head of the v.a. knew about it for years. how the veterans react, next. and this story will make you smile. a tiny dog gets a big helping hand. now he and the man that saved him are getting their 15 minutes of fame. it's a good story. ♪ scott: appears buster's been busy. man: yeah, scott. i was just about to use the uh... scott: that's a bunch of ground-up paper, lad! scotts ez seed uses the finest seed, fertilizer, and natural mulch that holds water so you can grow grass anywhere! seed your lawn. seed it! it's progressive pain. first you have that, that feeling of numbness. then you get the hot pins. it got to the point where i felt like, almost like lightning bolts, hot strikes into my feet. the pain was, it was... i just couldn't handle it, so my doctor prescribed lyrica. the pain has been reduced and i feel better than i did before.

we'll can jesse james guff, a member of the concerned veterans of america. thank you for joining us. >> thank you for having me. >> finally some action has been taken. the secretary made the action on may 9th when he found out about this, but jesse james duffy, our producers uncovered a report from december showing that there was some information revealed saying the very same thing. >> you know what? i find this has been going on continuously and veterans are aware of this. this has been going on in the past year alone. five deaths were associated with a lack of care and dorne medical facility. we have had multiple deaths due to ligoniers disease in ohio. and 1.5 million records have been deleted for appointments by the v.a. and the secretary is acting like, now i am coming in to save the day? that's apalling to me. >> it is inarguable that he's a war hero with good intentions, so where is the disconnect on all this? >> i applaud him on being a veteran but many of the veterans have served multitell tours overseas and put their lives on the line also. so to give him special privilege because of his status, how about what the v.a. is possible for? when the v.a. cares more about numbers than its lives, it has lost its soul. >> the media has been asking tough questions and finally some action is what we're seeing with some accountability, but how do we get more of this? nobody's lost their job. >> that's another thing. it's a v.a. accountability management, manageability and accountability act. it's the same thing that secretary hagel can do, fire executives. sharon hagel out in phoenix who allowed the secret list of 1600 veterans? she was promoted after fudging numbers out of seattle, washington, on veteran suicide. so instead of moving them out, they move them up. >> just move them to a different state making sure nobody will notice is what a lot of critics are saying. how high do you think this culture of alleged corruption with cooking the books goes, how high up you think? >> when 1.5 million records were found by the government accountability office to have just disappeared, it's as if the veterans don't exist. 1.5 million records were deleted and we don't know whether the veterans ever received care. the 40 veterans dead in phoenix and the 5 in dorne medical facility, i think it is thousands of veterans that have lost their lives. >> when they signed up to serve, they certainly were thinking they would be taken care of when coming home. we want to make sure they get some great care. jess jessie duff, thank you. a kindergarten bullying? one city wants to make it a misdemeanor for 5-year-olds. good idea or gone too far? and it doesn't get any closer than this. a church just inches away from destruction by a boulder. call it a divine intervention, what do you think about this?

>> he missed it by 1 foot. >> holy smokes. this happened in a church outside boston in a nearby demolition. the massive 20-ton boulder started rolling to the church and came to a stop just a few inches from the building. and st. louis rams michael sam is the first openly gay player drafted in the nfl. he tweeted out this photo thanking the rams and he gets to stay in missouri where he played in college for mizzou. one city in california going the extra step in the war against bullying. carson city is making the act a crime for children as young as 5. the city council has given preliminary approval to make it punishable with a ticket and $100 fine, second is $200 fine and third is a criminal misdemeanor? is it too much and too young? dr. charles william, thank you for being here. welcome. >> good to see you. >> dr. ablow, what is going on here? >> a step too far and only in california i would say, clayton. the idea that you're going to criminalize bullying for kindergartners, what about empowering parents? what about schools taking on the responsibility to teach kids civic responsibility and empathy? this is basically empowering the state as parents and traumatizing kids. guess what? if i'm in carson city, i'm not showing up in court with my 5-year-old to be charged for bullying. he's going to learn his dad doesn't subject him to traumas even if the state wants it. >> dr. charles williams, is that the responsibility of the state to basically do the parenting for them? is this not an overreaction? you disagree? >> look, let me be the first to say that to some extent it does seem like an overreaction, but as my colleague mentioned, he's going to step in and do the right thing. the problem is far too many parents have not stepped in. they are not doing the right thing. and because of that, kids are dying, they are killing themselves all over the country from tyler clemente. so the state is stepping in when parents don't do their job. they have an obligation to step in and do the job and this is a result of that. >> we are not talking about putting a 5-year-old in jail, but intervening the bully's life, who is the person hurting two and the victim's life. forgive all the commas there in that, but he's kind of supporting what doctor williams is saying here, right? if parents don't step in, we have to do something. >> chief, for a second, i thought this was the normal or nuts episode. nuts, right? intervene then. provide counseling. rehabilitate the potential would-be bully so you show that child empathy. the criminal justice system is a miserable failure at resurrecting the life of people. and for a colleague of mine to suggest turning over the healing of bullies, would-be bullies, 5-year-olds who seem mean to the state and the criminal justice system is folly. >> dr. williams, i'll give you the final word. >> i think that's a bit -- i don't think a kindergartner is going to jail. but the message is sent that far too many parents all over america have advocated the responsibility and the state is stepping in to -- >> the state must control everything. what a prescription for disaster. >> all right. we'll leave it there. thank you for a heated debate at 6:30 in the morning eastern time. dr. ablow, dr. williams, have a great sunday. it may be legal, but one doesn't care deciding to ban guns because they, quote, create an uncomfortable situation?

>> well, her mother handled that, actually. >> anna banana, what were you doing in charleston in september, blah, blah, blah. >> one of her closest friends went with her down there, and we knew the other girl very well, too. they grew up and we knew the family. >> the model child, i thought. >> the model child. >> here are two honor students, very upright students cutting class and we didn't know. >> i don't believe it. >> she's clever. >> that's the worst thing she did, but there's probably stuff we don't know about. >> we'll reveal that in the 9:00 hour. >> i was very sneaky. i just didn't get caught. >> what a surprise. >> are you totally surprised?

>> this is my own prejudice, i don't find it exciting. it would be like anything anti-anything channel. so to have an anti-ufo channel. you couldn't show ufos because they don't exist. >> so what would you make of the success or failure of this channel? >> well, i don't think it will be a great success. if they are all about the anti-something, but if they are talking about the search for meaning. if they are talking about deep issues in life, sure, absolutely. >> here's the statement from the american atheist group putting this together. quote, there's a glut of religious tv programming out there from televangelists to christmas specials, but there's no it aist channel. we wanted to fill that void. we'll ask you about a pope and talking about the redistribution of wealth. he appears to locals, here's the exact quote. the legitimate redistribution of economic benefits by the state as well as indispensable funds. this involves resisting the economy of exclusion, the throw away culture and the culture of death which nowadays is sadly becoming accepted. what did he mean? >> tucker, you made mention of this and we very quickly jumped to the pope saying redistribution of wealth. go redistribute money rich made and give it to the poor. he didn't say that and never used the term redistribution of wealth. what he said was legitimate meaning not illegitimate like taking money from the rich and giving to the poor. the legitimate redistribution of economic benefits, let me give you an example of that. in china, is it a very wealthy country? absolutely. is it just that people don't have an opportunity for personal development? it's injust that it happens. but what about the economic benefit of education in a civil society? we are seeing what's happening in nigeria, women can't get educated without major danger to their life. that's unjust. that is an economy of exclusion. and so the suggestion that the pope is there for a mark of this is just a bad reading. >> what do you think of a liberal jumping on this and saying, the pope says a redistribution of wealth, when he mentions sex before marriage, they act like he's an archaic figure that isn't relevant anymore. >> he talked about the culture of death, including abortion. that didn't get -- i don't think there's just liberals in this case. a lot of conservatives on front page of drudge reports or the big headline was redistribution of wealth. the pope basically calls it legitimate. it was poor reading. it was superficial and i'm glad we could clarify. >> are you doing a mother's day sermon today? >> many are surprised that i have a mother, like priests don't have mothers or something, but i have haver a mother. this is my mother in the center. and this is my mom right there, sharon. mom, i love you so much. if i weren't taking care of my parish family here at my church, i would be there with you. i love you and will see you next weekend. >> wonderful. your sisters are invited on fox any time. >> thank you very much. >> and susie will be on the show for mother's day in a bit. coming up on the show, a new danger for airlines after a passenger flight almost collides with a drone midair. our next guest says it's a serious threat and something needs to happen about it right now. and throwing out the first pitch at a baseball game, if that isn't cool enough, see who is behind the catcher's mask. it's the surprise of a lifetime. ♪ stick with innovation. stick with power. stick with technology. get the flexcare platinum from philips sonicare and save now. philips sonicare time to take care of business with century link's global broadband network and cloud infrastructure. we constantly evolve to meet your needs every day of the week. imagine this, you're out flying, gazing out the window, you think you might see a bird, no, instead, you almost collide with a drone flying near your aircra aircraft. that happened. listen. >> it was so close to his jet, he was sure he had collided with it. thankfully, inspection to the airliner after he landed. imagine that object going into a high-speed turbine engine. the results could be catastrophic. >> there are a lot of drones in the sky these days. are we facing a serious threat to air travel? joining me now is robert. thanks for coming on. whose drone was this? >> they never did find out whose drone it was. and that's one of the real problems that we face is that we don't know who's operating these things and when and some people follow the rules and some people don't. but you know, that's still -- it's still the early stages for these things. >> on the screen here, we're looking at some of the drones i think we've seen in circulation over the skies of afghanistan and yemen and other places that our cia uses to track terrorists. is that the type of drone we're talking about or are we talking about the toy drones that are maybe this large? >> the one in this particular case from what the report was is that it was much smaller than that. however, it really doesn't make a whole lot of difference. if one of those things of let's say even 15 or 20 pounds came through the windshield of an airplane or got sucked into the engine, it's not going to be pretty. look at what happened to the u.s. airways flight when it sucked a couple of geese a few years ago. >> right. as the conflicts in iraq and afghanistan wind down, a lot of military harbor manufacturers have switched to police departments in the u.s. which are buying drones all over this country. should the feds have some oversight there, do you think? >> well, they've got to have it. that's one of the reasons that the only people that are legally allowed to use them right now are basically law enforcement officers and departments. because they can kind of control them. right now, the faa is still working on regulations. the reason i think we saw that clip of jim williams from faa talking about those drones is that faa really feels like they're caught in the middle. people like me that fly big airplanes don't want these things in the air space unless we can be absolutely certain they're not going to be a conflict like this one was the other day. then you have the manufacturers and the users saying, no, come on faa, it's not a big deal. we can make this work and they're pressuring the faa. so faa is not ready to make a decision yesterday. >> and the faa is predicting 7500 small commercial drones will be in circulation by the year 2018. you have real estate companies using them for surveying and we even have the boy scouts about them building small drones. i don't know, it could be a bigger issue. robert mark, we appreciate you joining us this morning. we'll try to stay on top of this story. >> thanks, robert. >> he's the definition of a hero, putting his life on line to save his fellow soldiers. kyle white, the soon to be medal of honor recipient joins is live. and the customer is wrong. u.p.s. workers told to lie to cheat people out of money. someone is blowing the lid off the whole thing. ♪ heypostman ♪ please mr. postman lack and see ♪ getting your vegebles every day?

in arizona and colorado, wyoming, washington, this sharon holeman, initially when she was in spokane washington miscounted suicide numbers. they just moved her to another state instead of losing her job. >> shinseki, when i asked representative coffman about that very thing, is this more system systemic? isn't there a larger issue here? he said you have to start hear, get rid of him and you need someone who is brave enough to come in and change the entire culture. >> it would be nice to hear from the president. >> yes. the tendency on the left is to shut down debate with name calling. you saw it with condoleezza rice. you saw it with the president the other day. he said anyone who disagrees with his position on global warming is just crazy. you're seeing it now on common core. i'm not sure what i think of common core. i value my right to have an opinion. according to the southern poverty law center, anyone who disagrees with common core, is crazy. >> you're an extremist, tucker. it says it is being driven by the likes of fox news, the john birch society, tea party factions and the christian right. if you disagree with it. we've had healthy debates, angry parents, supporters of common core on this show discussing it and debating it. fox news is perpetrating these lies about common core? no. >> we had a huge supporter of common core on our show who took questions in our green room from facebook and twitter and e-mails. he stayed here for four hours. he missed church for crying out loud because he staid here doing it. the idea is that we need to make sure that there can be healthy debate. we want to make sure our kids get educated because they are our future. it seems like it's worth debating and should not be silenced. >> you can't have a debate if you presume people who disagree with you are not wrong but evil. you see this with harry reid, for example, where the people who disagree with him are not just wrong, they're unpatriotic or dry destroying the earth. the president makes this point constantly, the people who disagree with me want to hurt the poor. if you presume the people you're debating with are evil, it's not a debate. it's a name-calling session. you shut down rational discourse. that's a distressing trend. >> well said. e-mail us at friends@foxnews.com.com. rick, one of the best meteorologists in the country. i asked him for my daughter's second birthday party?

lyburn politics? joining us now rnc deputy press secretary and radio talk show host, richard fowler. it seems that he can't have any political opinions he wants. just because he's black doesn't mean he has to believe one set of things, does it? >> i agree with you. i think what representative clyburn was trying to say is that what we've seen from tim scott and his voting record is a voting record that votes against not only african-americans and hispanics but a voting record that votes against the 24% of south carolinian children who are in trouble here. >> that's not what he said, at least as i read it. he's black, he has a vote a certain way. no? >> what he said is the bottom line and tim scott is fight for all south carolinians. that's his job, what he's supposed to do. he's doing that through a jobs program, job training bill he just signed with corey booker. he's doing that through education access which is supported by the black community overwhelmingly. >> this is not exactly out of the blue. you hear this stuff all the time, ugly stuff aimed at black conservatives like clarence thomas, who's routinely called horrible names, i won't repeat them here, because he diverges ideologically from the majority of black voters. isn't that a sign of progress that you have a black person who has his own views on things? isn't that what we want? >> i don't think that's what we're arguing against. i have no problem with clarence thomas having his own views or tim scott having their own views. the argument clyburn is traying to make, folks in the civil rights movement are trying to make, within you have a member of congress that votes against protecting people's voting rights or a member of congress that will cut wick programs, cut programs that benefit the african-american, latino, lgtbq community, you have a serious problem on your hands. that's the argument representatives are trying to make when they call them out for horrible decisions they've made or the horrible voting record they have in the united states senate when it comes to the issues affecting the inner cities. >> this is all subjective, isn't it raffi? the programs might be a disaster. can't we debate this stuff or no? >> we should be able to have a debate. these are two people, both supreme court justice thomas and senator scott who came up from nothing. they've achieved the american dream and they've seen how they've done it and understand how they best can expand access to the american dream for all americans. doesn't matter what color or race you are. that's what they're doing out there and doing. people are saying oh, because he did "x," that means he doesn't like black body. that's not true. >> this guy is getting -- this is racial bullying. clyburn wouldn't have said this if he was white and you know that, richard fowler, come on now. >> like i said, i don't speak for the representative or what he said. i think the point he's trying to make is the same. you have a member that votes against the interest of african-americans. >> wait, wait. >> people in south carolina -- >> who defines what that interest is? [ talking at once ] >> that's not true. that's not true. >> that's true. >> programs that allow expanding voting for people does not -- the voting rights act is not a failure. tim scott tried to vote against it and obstruct it multiple times. >> why are you obstructing school choice, not allowing access to kids to get the best education possible so they can succeed? >> wait a minute now, wait a minute now. we're mixing apples and oranges. let's talk about school privacy if you would like. >> chris, response? >> when we're talking about access to public schools, what we need to do is invest in our teachers and treat our teacher as professionals. that's what we're not seeing from tim scott. >> thanks for the debate. i appreciate it. we could go on much longer. >> thanks. >> thanks. he is the very definition of a hero, putting his life on the line to save his fellow soldiers, army sergeant kyle white, soon to be a recipient the medal of honor. this nation's highest award. he joins us in a moment with his amazing story. this would be one long subway ride, china to the united states by train. how does that even work?

>> well, first of all thank you for having me on. second of all, happy mother's day to all the mothers watching. on the mission that day, it was actually on 8 november 2007 we were moving to the village of aranas to engage in what's known as a sharaa meeting. we were going to speak with them and move back to base the next day. and we left on the evening of 8 november, moved to the village, engaged in the meeting the next day and we were ambushed on -- about 3:30 in the afternoon on our way back to our home base. >> so you then -- all hell broke loose. the taliban ambushed your patrol while leaving this meeting. what happened next that changed your life forever? >> yes, how it started was, just a single shot to the far left of us, two shots and then the entire valley erupted. and you know, over the next few hours, those events would change my life forever. and you know, during that time, during the ambush, we'd lose six american heroes and -- >> sergeant, you could have easily lost your life. you leave a covered position and expose your yourself to enemy fire to save your comrades. at that moment was there ever a thought that passes your mind that says i'm going to stay oregon was the courage so strong that you knew what you had to do? >> during that time, especially the moments before i ran out to try to help marine sergeant box, you don't think what you're you're doing, especially in that moment with that much fire coming in. your adrenaline is pumping. all you know is you have a fallen comrade out there who needs your help. and in that situation, you fall back on your training. you know? i knew at that moment that if the roles were reversed and i was out there, that sergeant box would come out and help me as well. really, there was no decision as to what i had to do. >> meanwhile, when this all unfolded, a rocket propelled grenade landed and knocked you out, knocked you out cold. you were unconscious. describe what you saw when you woke up from that? >> yes. as the rpg came in, it knocked men conscious. that was in the first probably 30 seconds of the ambush. as soon as i came to, i was about -- face down on a rock that was buried in the trail and as i was picking my face up, probably a couple inches from the rock, an enemy round landed on that rock and ricocheted into my face. that brought me back to reality pretty quick. >> so few americans receive the medal of honor and fewer still who are still alive, only receiven from iraq and afghanistan. your father was a special forces soldier in the vietnam era. what was his response? how is he feeling about this? this must be amazing for him. >> he's very proud of me. he makes it a point to text and call me every day to tell me that he's proud of me. >> good for him. >> he's excited and excited to be a part of it. >> we're excited to have you here and share in all this with you. good luck to you. in 2011 you went to unc charlotte and used the gi bill and now you're an investment analyst. we wish you well in all of those endeavors, too. >> thank you very much. >> thank you so much, sergeant. congratulations. unbelievable. coming up here on the show, first it was the bundy ranch in nevada, then another piece of land in texas. are the feds now looking to take over land in ut snut. and they're going to bat against breast cancer today. these mothers and cancer survivors will be major league baseball bat girls. they'll bring us their story and their pink bats, next.

why didn't you go six and six? >> well, because republicans have the majority in the house. and the way the house operates, the majority has more members and as a result, on each of the committees we have more members. now, leader pelosi, once she created the so-called climate change committee, i think it was 8-5. >> there have been some people saying, you know, how many investigations do we have to have? until we get to the bottom of it. for crying out loud. do you think this smoking gun e-mail that came out last week had anything to do with him pauling the trigger and going ahead and doing this? >> 100% it was the e-mail. it's indicative of the fact that there were lines changed, words changed. there was the communication after the attack on september 11th. the days and weeks that followed did not jive with what we are learning now. so he just wants to find out exactly what happened, why was our embassy attacked?

Transcripts For CNNW At This Hour With Berman And Michaela 20141209 16:00:00

>> hello, i'm john berman. michaela pereira is off today. we'd like to welcome our viewers to the united states and around the world. breaking news at this hour. a highly anticipated and extremely controversial report due out any minute details just what cia interrogators did to terror detainees after september 11 and if it worked. any minute now senator dianne feinstein will present this report. you're looking at live pictures of the senate well. the senator will detail tactics and policies used during the bush administration against al qaeda suspects -- waterboarding, sleep deprivations, reservations about secret overseas prisons. the so-called black sites, all that expected to be included. what is in the report is controversial, releasing it at all is controversial. heightened security around the world because of fears the report could spark anti-american violence. evan perez has a preview of what's in the report. also, dana bash who just spoke with senator dianne feinstein. senior white house correspondent jim acosta, pentagon correspondent barbara starr and with us from cairo where there are security concerns is ian lee. first, we want to go to evan perez with a look at what this report will say. good morning, evan. >> good morning, john. there's no doubt this is going to be a really ugly day for the cia. this report has been fought over for years now. for the last few months the cia has been working with the white house and with the senate to try to decide what to release in this report. the findings are going to be really ugly in the sense that we're going to learn a lot more about what went on in this program. we know for a fact that there's going to be more information about the detainees, what they were subjected to. we also know that the report will portray the cia as going beyond what the methods that were authorized by memos that were done by the justice department and that it misled, according to the democrats who did this report, that it misled the justice department, misled the white house, and misled congress about what it was doing with the detainees. we expect we'll get details about detainee deaths that occurred while if this program and overall it's going to portray the cia as mismanaging this program and didn't produce much intelligence according to the democrats and, in fact, the big question is did this program help find osama bin laden. as you know he was killed in a u.s. raid. that's going to be still in dispute when the day is done. we expect that the cia will produce its own report, john, that will say that it did, indeed, provide intelligence that led to the capture or to the finding of bin laden. the senate democrats are going to say that it did not. so that's what we're going to have at the end of the day. probably much in dispute about this program. >> indeed. divisive to say the least. as one senator put it this morning, this report will say the cia did use torture and it didn't work and now evan you are reporting that this report will also say the cia was misleading to federal officials as well. we'll check back with you as you get more details of what's inside the report. i want to go to dana bash, our chief congressional correspondent. at the center of this whole something senator dianne feinstein. she will be speaking on the senate floor any minute. it's really senator feinstein who has decided and pushed for the release of the report today. you just spoke with her. >> that's right. as you know we've been reporting all morning about the fact that military personnel,'m boosy personnel and other u.s. personnel around the world are on high alert because of the fear of repercussions from the release of this report. so i just caught up with the senator, the chairwoman of the intelligence committee as she was going from her office to the senate floor where she'll give her speech and i asked her about that. how do you respond to those who worry that releasing this will put american lives at risk? >> well, i'll respond to that in my remarks. . there really is no good time and i think the greatness of this country is that we can examine mistakes and remedy them. and that is the hallmark of a great and just society so anything can happen at any time without a report. there's no question about that. and there will be a very good chance that because of the change in the senate, the report will not do anything. >> reporter: so you're doing this because you're going to lose the chairmanship? >> not necessarily. >> reporter: or because democrats are going to lose control? >> no, but there that's obviously a factor. there are a lot of factors that you weigh. this hasn't been an easy decision to move ahead and i'll make that clear. >> just to button that, we should remind our viewers that as of likely this thursday when the lame duck session is over democrats will effectively not have control, republicans don't formally take control until january but there won't be any business done so that was what the senator was referring to is that this is her chance, her last chance as chairwoman of the committee. she referred, john, to the fact that this hasn't been easy. boy is that an understatement. this has been years in the making. the senator and the intelligence committee, mostly on the democratic side, have been very much pushing for information. there has been a lot of controversy, tension about it. there have been accusations from senator feinstein herself about the cia hacking into senate commuters. it's, again, not been easy and she is no dove. she is very hawkish but she feels this is important to do as others have said because we're not north korea, we're not russia, we are a transparent society and this is why it's important. >> dana, there's been out and out acrimony between the committee and cia which is something you almost never see. dana bash, thanks so much again. we are waiting to hear from senator dianne feinstein the chair of the senate select committee on intelligence. she will be revealing new details about what is in this highly an patriotanticipated controversial report, called the cia torture report, what went on after september 11 to get information from terror detainees. i want to go to the white house. jim adocosta is there. jim, president obama, then senator obama ran largely on releasing the details of what went on. he was adamantly opposed to it as a candidate. now that he's been president for a number of years it is much more complicated. >> it is much more complicated and it would be interesting to do a then and now because i think they see more grays at the white house. make no mistakes, when president obama came into office in 2009 one of his first executive orders was to ban these so-called enhanced interrogation techniques which included waterboarding which, by the way, arizona senator john mccain, president obama's republican rival in 2008, he has referred to waterboarding as torture. the president in recent years has said we tortured some folks. so there's no dispute as to where the president stands on this. however we should point out and dana was talking about that somewhat. in the last several days you have noticed a hesitation on the part of this administration and that they knew this would be problematic in terms of releasing these results. we should point out that just yesterday the intelligence community after vetting and reviewing the intelligence committee's report returned that back to congress, returned that become to feinstein so she could release this redacted version and according to an administration official i talked to last night, john, this is 93% unredacted so there are some redactions in this 600-page executive summary of this 6,000 page report but according to the official nothing will be lost in the narrative. so there is going to be some detail here that perhaps the american people haven't seen before. but the chief complaint, the chief, i guess, technique in all of this that is really objected to by a lot of democrats is this use of waterboarding. it was used extensively on a number of detainees during the bush administration. president bush, vice president dick cheney when they were in office they maintained over and over again that this was not torture. president obama came into office and that's what happens when presidents change parties. when a president coming into office he can do what he wants to do when it comes to conducting war and peace and the president decided he was going to ban these techniques. make mo no mistake, i think this is a very difficult decision for white house to release this information. not only because of the unforeseen consequences that you might see around the world, violence, attacks and so forth, but keep in mind this president won't be in office much longer. he'll be gone in two years. the next president can come along from a different party and go back and decide and review what happened during this administration, drone attacks and so forth, so it does set a precedent and i think makes this administration a little uneasy, john. >> jim acosta, stick around. we will want the white house reaction when senator dianne feinstein, the chair of the senate intelligence committee, is due to speak in any minute. she will reveal new details of what's in the report. you heard jim mention it. waterboarding, the enhanced interrogation techniques that were used to get information from terror detainees after september 11 during the bush administration. again, the details of what is in that report will be released any minute. but even before those details are released, the report is controversial and all around the world u.s. marines have been asked to be on a heightened state of alert to respond if there are any protests or violence directed at americans because of this report. i want to bring in our pentagon correspondent barbara starr to give us details about 24 heightened security. barbara? >> john, good morning. the pentagon may make the case that much of this has been out there in the press in recent years, that the world knows an awful lot about this. but not really, because starting last week an order came from the joint chiefs of staff, general martin dempsey, the chairman, out to the worldwide combatant commanders to be ready when the report is released. the concern is a lot of material may appear online now. it will be read around the world. whether it is accurate, ink context or propaganda put out y about the cia by isis, there may be -- may be -- violent repercussions. the concern is u.s. embassies, u.s. military bases around the world, u.s. troops in afghanistan, in iraq, in the middle east. so what has happened since last week is u.s. marine which is basically run the emergency response forces in africa and in the middle east have been put on this heightened state of alert. they are now ready to go faster than ever before if a violent situation was to break out. look, let's be clear. the pentagon, the white house, congress, everybody hopes it does not happen. but it has happened in the past. u.s. embassies have come under attack and, of course, ever recalls the situation with the u.s. government compound in benghazi, libya. that is what they are trying to avoid. a violent backlash that the military could not be ready to respond to so these marines now on alert, ready to move if something were to happen. john? >> on alert and ready to move. one place you can bet the united states has its eye on right now, thanks, barbara starr, one place the united states no doubt has its eye on is cairo. cairo, of course, it was site of violent demonstrations after the video many people saw as anti-islam, the u.s. embassy in cairo came under attack there. i want to check in with ian lee in cairo to give us a sense of what precautions are being taken and if there is concern and visible concern that you can see there today. ian? >> john, i had a conversation with the u.s. embassy and they're telling me they won't comment on just procedures. in 2012 there was a breaching of the perimeter by anti-american demonstrators, the breaching of the u.s. embassy perimeter since then rts, security has been stepped up, there's more barriers, a larger police presence and the military is close by if needed. but when we talk about the street and the genre action, there's mild interest, not very much what we're hearing that people are saying. where the real damning reports could come from are egypt, for example, was one of the cia's rendition program. if they are mentioned this could be embarrassing for the government and as well for their intelligence community. we haven't heard any reaction from the egyptian governments yet but we're also waiting to see what are in the details. if something is very explosive in this report, then that could -- we could see the effect of that in the street. john. >> ian lee in cairo. yes, the details so important, what is in this report. and any minute now we will hear from dianne feinstein, senator, the chairperson of the senate select committee on intelligence. it's that committee that is releasing this report that talks about what they call cia terror techniques that were used to get information from terror suspects after the attacks on september 11. what will the details be? what will the reaction be and what will the accusations be about? how they were presented or misrepresented to the u.s. government. stay with us. that speech very controversial just ahead. i lost my sight in afghanistan, but it doesn't hold me back. i go through periods where it's hard to sleep at night, and stay

today. welcome back to our viewers in the united states and around the world. any minute now, senator dianne feinstein, the chair of the senate select committee on intelligence, will give a speech on the senate floor outlining her committee's report on what is being call cda torture techniques. how they question terror suspects after september 11 during the bush administration, what these techniques were, whether they were effective and now we have just learned also how they were represented to the administration and the government at the time. again, that speech any second but the report just posted online. we have the details of what it says. i'm going to go to our justice correspondent evan perez. evan, it says the techniques were not effective and not only that it says what they were doing, the cia, was misrepresented to the government at the time. >> that's right, john. as i mention, this is going to be dark for the cia because all along they've said this program produced valuable intelligence. this report that's been done by the senate democrats which looksed at six million pages of documents in the cia is concluded otherwise. the senate found there were at least 119 prisoners who went through the cia program that's a bigger number than we have ever known. the cia has previously only said about 100. we know a third of them were suggest to what the cia called enhanced interrogation tactics, eits, this is what people call torture. waterboarding, slapping b, sleep deprivation. other thing s things we know so prisoners died as a result of these tactics. led me read to you the main finding from the senate. that the enhanced interrogation did not produce otherwise unavailable information necessary to save lives. that's something the cia will push back very hard on because they believe that -- people in the bush administration and the cia -- believe this program did save lives. they say it's a program they disavowed. that they would never do this again and that it was wrong but they can't they say you cannot say it produced valuable intelligence and that it's unknowable whether it would have been gotten otherwise. as you mentioned, the findings are that the program was ineffective. that the cia misled the white house, it misled congress and the justice department about what it was doing. that the program was far more brutal in the tactics being used against these detainees. we know one detainee at one location died after he was held naked for days chained to a wall and that -- he died of hypothermia, for example. so that's another finding in this report. we also are told from the report that the program produced inaccurate information. it led to the fbi and the cia having to chase down leads that turned out to be nothing because people misread information, because, for example, khalid sheikh mohammed, while he was being waterboarded, admitted to things that the cia wanted him to admit to which turned out to be false and not true. so, again, these are some very ugly findings that we expect. we have a bunch of people here at cnn poring over the details of this report. we'll expect to have some more. >> evan, stick around. we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. we are getting the details of what is inside the senate intelligence committee report on cia techniques to get information from terror suspects during the bush administration evan perez outlined what the techniques were, harsher than what the situation was told at the time. misrepresented, evan just reported to the administration at the time. evan also inside this report there is an open question about what the cia was telling the president. whether the president, in fact, knew what the cia was doing at some of these black sites. >> that's right, john. that's something i think we're going to end the day here without really knowing the full answer. we know that president bush in his own biography says that he knew full well what was going on. he was in control and he authorized this program. we know that the justice department authorized this program. however. the cia documents don't indicate that he was ever briefed until 2006. so while a lot of the abuses that are described in this report are going on, 2002, 2003, 2004, the president was not being briefed. we know that at some point the cia was preparing to brief some of the top officials in the bush administration but then they decided not to in part because according to some of the documents they were afraid that it was going to leak and in particular the colin powell would blow his lid is what i think one description of this the way how this was described in reaction to what was being done. >> to be clear, president george w. bush in an interview can w candy karolyi made it clear he stands behind what the cia did and what happened during his administration. vice president dick cheney very publicly as well. evan, stick around. i want to go to our chief correspondent dana bash. already i can see republicans lashing out at this report. some republicans where you are are calling it fiction. >> that's right. and you just saw senators were voting. our team is talking to senators while they're coming off of the senate floor. one of whom is senator richard brr. he is going to be the next chair of the senate intelligence committee, the next dianne feinstein, if you will. republican. he called it fiction. he told our ted barrett that he does not believe that this is an accurate portrayal of what really went on because he says that the committee and its staff didn't interview everybody involved, the operatives in particular. he said that they got their facts wrong and it went on from there. it's no secret that most of the republicans on the intelligence committee did not like this, did not cooperate and they're going to have their own kind of rebuttal report, if you will. so that is exactly the kind of thing that we are hearing. not just concern about the fact that this information is being released and what it could mean for the security of americans but questioning the actual content of this report in general. >> dana bash, thanks so much. i want to go to the white house. they, of course, are watching very closely what is happening on capitol hill and we are awaiting a speech any minute now from senator dianne feinstein, the chair of the senate select committee on intelligence. jim acosta at the white house. the link to the report is posted. the cia has had days to look at it already. what is their official response now that it's been posted. >> well, there is a response from the president to this report that's being released by the senate intelligence committee, john, and it is pretty scathing, i have to tell you. at the beginning of this statement the president says that he understands that the previous administration, the bush administration, had agonizing choices to make but that some of the choices they made were "contrary to our values." and then the president goes on to say about this enhanced interrogation technique program and about the report, it says "the report documents a troubling program involving enhanced interrogation techniques on terrorism suspects in secret facilities outside the united states and it reinforces my long-held view that these harsh methods were not only inconsistent with our values as a nation, they did not serve our broader counterterrorism efforts or our national security interesting. moreover, these techniques did significant damage to america's standing in the world and made it harder to pursue our interests with allies and partners. john, we should mention that the cia has also released its own response to this senate intelligence committee report and it also in a statement from the cia director john brennan says that they did not always live up to their values at the agency in carrying out this program. so it is a -- as e van said, a dark day for the cia and at the same time the white house will be doing a lot of explaining. at the same time, because it took years for this to come to light the white house will face question about why it took so long. >> it's a scathing report from one administration about the previous administration. jim, what is the white house response about whether president obama has spoken to former president george w. bush about this? >> they have had dealings over the years. we don't know whether or not president obama and president obama have talked about this. my sense of it is that they have not. but this is an interesting question for this president because as we were saying earlier, john, you know, president obama came into office seeing things in a black-and-white fashion. when it came to this program and over the years as he's had to wage for what the war on terrorism and as he tried to wind it down and now he's ratcheting it back up again and the war on isis, he is finding that he also has to do things that perhaps might make people crazy on capitol hill. in terms of snooping on americans, the surveillance going nonthis country and around the world. so those are tactics and programs and thing this president has done that make civil libertarians tear their hair out and might have made a former senator obama tear his hair out when he was running for president in 2008. so it's interesting to see how they've tried to get this information out there. knowing there could be ramification once it makes its way around the world, john? jim acosta at the white house, stand by. i want to bring back evan perez who has been going through this report which has just been released. evan, in addition to outlining the details of what techniques were used and where they were used, one of the most scathing claims is the cia misrepresented what they were doing to policymakers and the american public. can you give my specifics about what exactly they said and didn't say and the extent of these misrepresentations? >> if you look at this program, it was authorize bid this president. >> i van, i'm sorry, i need to cut you off, senator dianne feinstein, the chair of the senate select committee presenting the report right now. >> the senate intelligence committee's five and a half year review of the cia's detention and interrogation program which was conducted between 2002 and 2009 is being released publicly. the executive summary which is going out today is backed by a 6,700 page classified and unredacted report with 38,000 footnote which is can be released if necessary at a later time. the report released today examines the cia's secret overseas detention of at least 119 individuals and the use of coercive interrogation techniques, in some cases amounting to torture. over the past couple of weeks, i've gone through a great deal of intro special election about whether to delay the release of this report to a later time. this clearly is a period of turmoil and instability in many parts of the world. unfortunately, that's going to continue for the foreseeable future. whether this report is released or not. there are those who seize upon the report and say "see what the americans did?" and they will try to use it to justify evil actions or incite more violence. we can't prevent that. but history will judge us by our commitment to a just society governed by law and the willingness to face an ugly truth. and say never again. there may never be the right time to release this report. the instability we see today won't be resolved in months or years but this report is too important to shelve indefinitely. there there has been a campaign of mistaken statements and press articles launched against the report before anyone has had the chance to read it. as a matter of fact, the report is just now as i speak being released. this is what it looks like. senator chambliss asked me if we could have the minority report bound with the majority report. for draft that is not possible but in the final draft it will be bound together. but this is what the summary of the 6,000 pages look like. my words give me no pleasure. i'm releasing this report because i know there are thousands of employees at the cia who do not condone what i will speak about this morning and who worked day and night long hours, within the law, for america's security in what is certainly a difficult world my colleagues on the intelligence committee and i am proud of them, just as everyone in this chamber is. and we will always support them. in reviewing this study this in the past few days, with a decision looming over the public release, i was struck by a quote found on page 126 of the executive summary. it cites the former cia inspector general john held gerson who in 2005 wrote the following to the then-director of the cia which clearly states the situation with respect to this report years later as well. and i quote. "we have found that the agency over the decades has continued to get itself intoes mes related to interrogation programs for one overriding reason. we do not document and learn from our experience. each generation of officers is left to improvise anew with problematic results for our offices as individuals and for our agency. i believe that to be true. i agree with mr. helgerson. his comments are true today but this must change. on march 11, 2009, the committee voted 14-1 to begin a review of the cia's detention and interrogation program. over the past five years, a small team of committee investigators pored over the more than 6.3 million pages of cia records the leader spoke about to complete this report or what we call the study. it shows that the cia's actions a decade ago are a stain on our value and history. the release of this 500 page summary cannot remove that stain. but it can and does say to our people and the world that america is big enough to admit when it's wrong and confident enough to learn from its mistakes. releasing this report is an important step to restore our valuings and show the world that we are in fact a just and lawful society over the next hour, i'd like to lay out for the senators and the american public the report's findings and. when i complete this, i asked that senator mccain berecognized. before i get to the substance, i'd like to make a few comments about why it's so important that we make this study public. all of us have vivid memories of that tuesday morning when terror struck new york, washington, and pennsylvania. september 11, 2011, war was declared on the united states. terrorists struck our financial center. they struck our military center and they tried to strike our political center and would have had brave and courageous passengers not brought down the plane. we still vividly remember the mix of outrage and deep despair and sadness as we watched from washington. smoke rising from the pentagon. the passenger plane lying in a pennsylvania field. the sound of bodies hitting canopies as innocents jumped from the world trade center. mass terror that we often see abroad had struck us directly from our front yard, killing 3,000 innocent men, women, and children. what happened? we came together as a nation with one singular mission -- bring those who committed these rackets to justice. but it's at this point where the values of america come into play, where the rule of law and the fundamental principles of right and wrong become important. in 1990, the united states senate ratify it had convention against torture. the convention makes clear that this ban against torture is absolute. it says, and i quote "no exceptional circumstances whatsoever," including what i just read. "whether a state of war or a threat of war, internal political instability or any other public emergency may be invoked as a justification for torture." nonetheless it was argued that the need for information on possible additional terrorist plots after 9/11 made extraordinary interrogation techniques necessary. even if one were to set aside all of the moral arguments, our review was a meticulous and detailed examination of records. it finds that coercive interrogation techniques did not produce the vital otherwise unavailable intelligence the cia has claimed. i will go into further detail on this issue in a moment, but let me make clear, these comments are not a condemnation of the cia as a whole. the cia plays an incredibly important part in our nation's security. and has thousands of dedicated and talented employees. what we have found is that a surprisingly few people were responsible for designing, carrying out and managing this program. two contractors led the interrogations. there was little effective oversight. analysts on occasion gave operational orders that interrogations and cia management of the program was weak and diffused. our final report was approved by a bipartisan vote of 9-6 in december, 2012, and exposed brutality in stark contrast to our values as a nation. this effort was focused on the actions of the cia from late 2001 to january of 2009. the report does not include considerable detail on the cia's interactions with the white house. -- it does including, excuse me, considerable detail on the cia's interactions with the white house, the departments of justice, state, defense, and the senate intelligence committee. the review is based on contemporaneous records and documents during the time the program was in place and active. now, these documents are important because they aren't based on recollection. they aren't based on revision and they aren't a rationalization a decade later. it's these documents referenced repeatedly in thousands of footnotes that provide the factual basis for the study's conclusions. the committee's majority staff reviewed more than 6.3 million pages of these documents provided by by the cia as well as records from other departments and agencies. these records include finished intelligence assessments, cia operational and intelligence cables, memoranda, e-mails, realtime chat sessions, inspector general reports, testimony before congress, pictures, and other internal records. it's true we didn't conduct our own interviews, and let me tell you why that was the case. in 2009 there was an ongoing review by department of justice special prosecutor john durham. on august 24, attorney general holder expanded that review. this occurred six months after our study had begun. durham's original investigation of the cia's destruction of interrogation videotapes was broadened to include possible criminal actions of cia employees in the course of cia detention and interrogation activities. at the time, the committee's vice chairman, kit bond, withdrew the minority's participation in the study citing the attorney general's expanded investigation as the reason. the department of justice refused to coordinate its investigation with the intelligence committee's review. as a result, possible interviewees could be subject to additional liability if they were interviewed and the cia, citing the attorney general's investigation. would not instruct its employees to participate in interviews. notwithstanding this, i am really confident of the factual accuracy and comprehensive nature of this report for three reasons. first, it's the 6.3 million pages of documents reviewed and they reveal records of actions as those actions took place, not through recollections more than a decade later. second, the cia and cia's senior officers have taken the opportunity to explain their views on cia detention and interrogation operations. they have done this in on-the-record statements, in classified committee hearings. written testimony and answer to questions and through the formal response to the committee the in june, 2013, after reading the study. and, third, the committee had access to and utilized an extensive set of reports of interviews conducted by the cia inspector general and the cia's oral history program so while we could not conduct new interviews of individuals we did utilize transcripts or some reis of interviews of those directly engaged in detention and interrogation operations. this covered the exact topics we would have asked about had we conducted interviews ourselves. these interview reports and transcripts included but were not limited to the following. george tenant, director of the cia when the agency took custody and interrogate it had majority of detainees. jose rodriguez direct o of the cia's counterterrorism center, a key player in the program. cia general council scott muller, cia deputy director of operations, cia acting general council john riz strkso and cia deputy director john mclaughlin. and a variety of interrogate pors, lawyers, medical personnel senior counterterrorism analyst and managers of the detention and interrogation program. the best place to start about how we got into this -- and i'm delighted that senator rockefeller is on the floor -- is a little more than eight years ago on september 6, 2006. when the committee met to be briefed by then director michael hayden. at that 2006 meeting, the full committee meeting learned for the first time of the use of so talled enhanced interrogation techniques or eits. it was a short meeting in part because president bush was making a public speech later that day disclosing officially for the first time the existence of cia black sites and announcing the transfer of 14 detainees from cia custody to guantanamo bay, cuba. it was the first time interrogation program was explained to the full committee as details had previously been limited to the chairman and vice chairman. then on september -- december 7, 2007, the "new york times" reported that cia personnel in 2005 had destroyed videotapes of the interrogation of two cia detainees. the cia's first detainee, abu a buy da -- souix bayda. days later, on december 11, 2007, the committee held a hearing on the destruction of the videotapes. director hayden, the primary witness, testified that the cia had concluded that the destruction of videotapes was acceptable in part because congress had not yet requested to see them. my source is our committee's transcript, december 11, 2007. director hayden stated that if the committee had asked for the videotapes they would have been provided by but of course the committee had not known the videotapes existed. and we now know from cia e-mails and records that the videotapes were destroyed shortly after cia attorneys raised concerns that congress might find out about the tapes. in any case at that same december 11 committee hearing, director hayden told the commit teal that cia cables related to the interrogation sessions depicted in the videotapes were, and i quote, "a more than adequate representation of the tapes and therefore if you want them, we'll give you access to them." that's our transcript, december 11, 2007 hearing. senator rockefeller, then chairman of the committee, designated two members of the committee staff to review the cables describing the interrogation sessions of abu zubaida and al nashiri. senator bond similarly directed two of his staffers to review the cables. the designated staff members completed their review and compiled a summary of the content of the cia cables by early 2009 by which time i had become chairman. the description in the cables of cia's interrogations and the treatment of detainees pressed a starkly different picture from director hayden's testimony before the committee. they described brutal around-the-clock interrogations, especially of abu zubaida in which multiple coercive techniques were used in combination and with substantial reputation. it was an ugly, visceral description. the summary also indicated that abu zubaida did not provide the kind of intelligence that led the cia to stop terrorist plots or arrest additional suspects. as a result, i think it's fair to say the entire committee was concerned and it approved the scope of an investigation by a vote of 14-1 and the work began. in my march 11, 2014, floor speech about the study, i described how, in 2009, the committee came to an agreement with the new cia director, leon panetta, for access to documents and other records about the cia's detention and interrogation program. so i won't repeat that here. from 2009 to 2012 our staff conducted a massive and unprecedented review of cia recor records. draft sections of the report were produced by late 2011 and shared with the full committee. the final report was completed in . and approved by the committee by a bipartisan vote of 9-6. after that vote, i sent the full report to the president and asked the administration to provide comments on it before it was released. six months later, in june of 2013, the cia responded. i directed them that if the cia pointed out any error in our report, we would fix it. and we did fix one bullet point that did not impact our findings and conclusions. if the cia came to a different conclusion than the report did, we would note that in the report and explain our reasons for disagreeing if we disagree. and you will see some of that documented in the footnotes of that executive summary as well as in the 6,000 pages. in april 2014, the committee prepared an updated version of the full study and voted 12-3 to declassify and release the executive summary, findings and conclusions and minority and additional views. on august 1, we received a declassified version from the executive branch. it was immediately apparent that the redactions to our report prevented a clear and understandable reading of the study and prevented us from substantiating the findings and conclusions so we obviously objected. for the past four months, the committee and the cia, the director of national intelligence and the white house have engaged in a lengthy negotiation over the redactions to the report. we have been able to include some more information in the report today without sacrificing sources and methods of our -- or our national security. i'd like to ask, following my remarks, that a letter from the white house dated yesterday conveying the report also points out that the report is 93% complete a that the redactions amount to 7% of the bulk of the report. >> without objection. >> thank you, mr. president. this has been a long process. the work began seven years ago when senator rockefeller directed the committee staff to review the cia cables describing the cables of abu zubaydah and that this nation should never again engage in these tactics. let me now turn to the contents of the study. as i noted, we have 20 findings and conclusions which fall in the four general categories. first, the cia's enhanced interrogation techniques were not an effective way to gather intelligence information. second, the cia provided extensive amounts of inaccurate information about the operation of the program and effectiveness to the white house, the department of justice, congress, the cia inspector general, the media and the american public. third, the cia's management of the program was inadequate and deeply flawed. and fourth, the cia program was far more brutal than people were led to believe. the first findings talk about the effectiveness or lack there of and found that the coercion techniques were not an effective means of acquiring accurate intelligence or gaining detainee cooperation. the cia and other defenders of the program have repeatedly claimed that the use of so-called interrogation techniques was necessary to get detainees to provide critical information. the study concludes that both claims are inaccurate. the report is very specific in how it evaluates the cia's claims on the effect i haveness and necessity of its enhanced infair gags techniques. specifically, we used the cia's own definition of effectiveness as ratified and approved fts office of the legal counsel counsel. they claim that it was necessary to obtain, quote, otherwise available, end quote, information. that could not be obtained from any other source to stop terrorist attacks and save american lives. that's a claim we conclude is inaccurate. these include cases of terrorist plots stopped or terrorist captured. the cia used these examples in presentation to the white house, in testimony to congress, in subfigures missions to the department of justice and ultimately to the american people. some of the claims are well known. the capture of khalid sheikh mohammed and the takedown of osama bin lad d osama bin ladin. in each case, the cia claimed that critical and unique information came from one or more detainees in its custody after they were subjected to the cia's coercive techniques. and that information led to specific counterterrorism success. our staff reviewed every one of the 20 cases. and not a single case holds up. in every single one of these cases, at least one of the following was true. one, the intelligence community had information separate from the use of uits that led to the terrorist disruption or capture. two, information from a detainee subjected to eits played no roles in the claimed disruption or capture and, three, the purported terrorist plot either did not exist or posed no real threat to americans or united states interests. some critics have suggested the study concludes that no intelligence was ever provided for any detainee the cia held. that is false. and the study makes no such claim. what is true that actionable intelligence that was, quote, otherwise unavailable, otherwise unavailable was not obtained using these coercive interrogation techniques. the report also chronicles where the techniques that do not involve physical force were effective. specifically, the report provides examples where they confront detainees with facts. know when they were lying and when they applied rapport building techniques that were developed and honed by the united states military, the fbi and, more recently, the interagency high value detainee group, that these techniques produced good intelligence. let me make a few other comments on the claimed effectiveness of the cia interrogations. at no time did the cia coercive interrogation techniques lead to the collection of intelligence on an imminent threat that many believe was the justification for these techniques. the committee never found an example of this hypothetical ticking time bomb scenario. the use of coercive technique methods regularly resulted in fabricated information. sometime the cia new detainees

as we see this splits. >> yes, let me walk you through donald trump's strategy over the next three days to do the ten state splits. we are calling that hillary clinton's blue firewall, the states of wisconsin and pennsylvania. that's one region and then you know donald trump has to be able to win the must-win florida and north carolina. if he does not win any of those states, this race is over. he has to be able to hone onto that. he wants to be able to go out to the west and see if he could pick off a state like colorado, for example, that helps him out. just to kind of show you then, you know, hillary clinton's holds. pennsylvania is critical to that. michigan is critical to that. that's a reliably blue state and she will be here later today. and campaigning later on tonight with jay z, she's adding a stop this weekend. the polls are all tied up. she's battling for every vote and not taking any vote for granted, thomas. >> kristen, standby, lets go to our katy tur. this rhetoric that trump is using that clinton is likely under an investigation for a long time, america deserves a president who can go to work on day one. is this red meat where the folks already supported? >> well, it is. it is aimed at those republicans that are out there that are uncomfortable with donald trump and trying to get them to get up and get out and go to the polling booth and cast their ballots for trump and instead of somebody like a third party candidate or somebody they made perhaps write in and as we saw, some folks say they're going to write in a third party candidate including john kasich who wrote in john mccain when he was? ohio. what they are trying to do is paint hillary clinton as somebody that's so questionable and somebody who has so many issues in office and including an investigation and they within the to say it will end up with a criminal indictment even though they do not know that's going to happen. so they can scare those republicans into coming home. mit romney enjoyed a lot more republican support than donald trump has at the moment over 93% or 94% or 95%. in order for donald trump to be competitive or any democrats for that matter, he's going to slit f solidify all the republican votes as they can. there is some indications that is working. i was talking to sources in new hampshire who tells me the polls are tightening in that state. republicans are coming home to donald trump in a way where they have not seen before this past week. they're still unsure that he will be able to pull it off in new hampshire but hopeful than they were a week ago and above anything else of what this is happening, of kellyanne conway and new hampshire and pennsylvania and others across the country including marco rubio and florida. they are going to don't do this and they hope that donald trump stays on message and we see him on the campaign trail and he acknowledges this and at oftentimes he can be his own wor words. >> we know that toomey -- you katie and kristen welker, has team trump responded about upcoming indictment for clinton? >> reporter: no, the trump campaign has not responded to that. they have been using that and saying that just came out and hillary clinton is going to be criminally indicted and they use this fox news reporting but they have not commented since brett bearer have backed off of it. yesterday, he said this was artful terminology. today he's apologizing that it is not just artful but inaccurate. >> kristen what about how is team clinton responded of a false story? >> reporter: no reaction to that. you remember in the wake of comey coming forward and announcing that he's looking into newly discovered e-mails, clinton campaign turning the pressure on comey, hey, if you are going to do this, release all the information. we saw that from her top surrogate. clinton is not talking about this issue anymore. she's trying to turn the page. you will hear some of her top circuit taking this on. >> it is friday, the e-mail from comey came out on friday, the "access hollywood" came out on a friday that hurt donald trump. what will happen this friday? >> anybody's guess. katy, and kristen and mark and jacob, everybody thank you very much, appreciate it. i want to follow on this case of chris christie. >> bill baroni, chris christie will be campaigning for trump. he released this statement that reads in part. let me be clear, once again, i had no knowledge prior to or during these lane realignments and had no roles of authorizing them and anything said to the contrary over the past six weeks in court is simply untrue. i want to bring in our legal correnspo correnspondent, ari melber. >> well, we have been following two cases and this is a jury to your question decided that there were something rotten there that this is what this administration did and convicted to christie's aids. that's not good. nine counts and of wired fraud. the problem with chris christie is how that looks and if he had former aids singling him out. the good news for chris christie is that this case is finally over. he was not ever charged to be fair and clear and thus in that sense, the legal chapter appears closed. >> all right, i have halie touched on this at the end of last hour of the rolling stone verdict and the fact that there is three people, defendants in the defamation trial and how this has moved forward. >> this is a story that ran rolling stone, alleging a rather graphic gang-rape at a fraternity on campus. the administrator from the school sued and said not only your story was false but you defamed me along with others in doing it so recklessly. >> people often say i am going to sue, i will sue for defamation and you lied about me. very rarely those cases go to court and when they do, rarely you will get these major guilty verdict. >> with this jury found just in the last hour, no, there was recklessness and there were actual malice, these people did not just do their jobs poorly, they did their job incredibly recklessly, they did not get the basic fact-checking and the basic stories that a reporter is supposed to do. we are not talking about jail, we are talking about money damages up to $7 million. >> that chapter would come later. this is a huge blow to rolling stone which i should mention and people probably know at home has published a great number of issues and music and cultures and rights over the years. this story is a blemish for that. >> did rudy giuliani knows about last friday's, of october's surprise two days before the story broke. >> i mean i am talking about some -- pretty big surprise. >> yeah, i heard you said that this morning. what did you mean? >> you will see. >> you are lucky because we got to go. i am out of town. >> we are not going to go down. we are not going to stop fighting. we got a couple of things off our sleeves that should turn us around. >> why agents reportedly are against hillary clinton and what these new claims could mean for the race going forward. first, a reminder our coverage begins tomorrow eastern with a live one hour show hosted by your own joanne reid and tuesday tuned in on our msnbc election beginning at 9:00 a.m. eastern. . (friends gasp) the app where you put fruit hats on animals? i love that! guys, i'll be writing code that helps machines communicate. (interrupting) i just zazzied you. (phone vibrates) look at it! (friends giggle) i can do dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs... you name it. i'm going to transform the way the world works.

Transcripts For FOXNEWSW Fox And Friends Sunday 20160410 10:00:00

good morning, everyone. today it's sunday, april 10th, 2016. we have a fox news alert for you. a former professional football player, gunned down in the street. in what appears to be an extreme case of road rage. we'll take you to the scene whatever police are saying this morning. and senator bernie sanders going 8 for 9 with a win in wyoming yesterday and setting his sights on hillary clinton in new york state. >> if we can win here, it absolutely opens the door to a path toward victory to the white house. >> but here's the weird thing, bernie won yesterday in wyoming but hillary got more delegates. is she stealing the nomination from him? and "the boston globe" printing a fake front page story. take a look at this. what america might look like under president donald trump. unbelievable. "fox & friends" begins right now. ♪ >> yeah. oh. wait wait wait. >> wow. the final round of the masters began yesterday, but we have our own version of the masters. and janice dean is drinking and paying putt putt golf. it's taking place in our plaza. a little different than what happens at augusta. >> janice, did you -- what just happened? >> did you see ernie els first hole of the masters? >> unbelievable. >> seven putted from two feet. shot a 10 on the first hole. >> it's the pressure. >> we don't have the green jacket today. >> it makes us feel like we could all compete. >> true. we have a shot. that's coming up later. >> nice to see you. >> good to be back. we'll begin with a fox news alert this morning. a former nfl player shot dead. it happened overnight in new orleans. former saints defensive end will smith was shot multiple times while confronting the driver of a hummer that rear ended the car smith and his wife were riding in. smith died at the scene. his wife was also shot and taken to the hospital. the shooter is now in custody. another fox news alert, the brussels attackers' original plot was an up attack on france. officials say their plans changed after massive cross country raids took down key suspects. the so-called man in white from the airport, you'll remember, captured in one of those raids. mohamed abrini admitted to police yesterday he is in fact the man caught on surveillance camera running from the deadly scene. he told police he threw his explosive vest away. he confession comes as police warn there are other unknown terror cells. an amazing story of survival. a small plane goes crashing down in southeast alaska, killing the pilot and two passengers. the helicopter team found the wreckage and they spotted a third passenger, the sole survivor of the crash. the 21-year-old was flown to juneau for treatment. we do not know of his condition yet. the national transportation safety board is investigating that crash. hillary clinton's big subway fail, i think clayton was teasing her about this yesterday. does she get a pass? >> these things are a pain in the butt. >> it happened in the bronx earlier this week. it became the butt of all the jokes on "saturday night live" last night. listen. >> the new york city subway's the best way to get around. [ laughter ] it's been a while. this isn't a working metro card. [ laughter ] this is the best way to get around. >> okay. that was actress -- wow. taking on the role, portraying the democratic front-runner which she's so aptly does. attending to new york voters. those turnstiles they can be tough. don't be so hard on her. >> it's not even the turnstile, but the card swipe. canada is more advanced in the subway systems than we are. let us use our phone, tap and pay and go through. instead the flimsy card gets stuck. so i support you, hillary. it's a mess down. >> canada is not more advanced than we are. maybe in sled dog technology. we're still ahead. >> to the presidential race, bernie sanders another big win. his seventh in a row. yesterday he swept wyoming. here's the amazing part. even after winning the state, by double digits over hillary clinton, hillary clinton walks away with more delegates. >> how does that happen? >> how does that happen? >> well, because she gets the super delegates. they have four super delegates so hillary gets those. even though she loses she walks way with more delegates. 11-7. this is why the sanders campaign according to real clear politics, they're prepping right now to say -- the sanders campaign to look for a contested convention. because he gets the pledged delegates he keeps locking then up, but still losing wyoming. >> does any of this surprise you? >> well, i think it is surprising because these races on both sides are so close, we're for the first time in generations seeing how the process really works close hand. >> right. >> and the closer you look the less democratic it turns out to be. i think that's a huge shock for a lot of people who imagine that their votes matter. because they don't. >> you literally -- it's almost impossible to clearly and simply describe this entire process. like if i had to sit down and describe to my 5-year-old how this process works he would get up and walk away. >> here's what even your 5-year-old know. one man, one vote. one person, one vote. that's the assumption that every american is born with. we're looming to a crisis here on the democratic side. >> well, look, he's got the recent seven victories, look at this. idaho, utah, alaska, hawaii, wisconsin, washington, wyoming. wow. he's on a roll. but not so fast. hillary clinton is still getting more -- >> but at what point do bernie voters say, wait a second, this is a totally inside deal. they think it's an oligarchy run by wall street, at what point do they say, we're not putting up this with. >> or does she learn from obama obama while they're focused on the big primary states, barack obama was locking up the key areas that hillary clinton was a avoiding. >> he was the insurgent. he was channeling the voice of the people. hillary clinton is channeling the voice of the donors and everybody knows that. >> bernie sanders saying if i can make it here, i can make it anywhere. saying new york is the next big battle to the white house. >> on april 19th, that's going to be a very important primary here in new york. and there are a lot of delegates at stake. remember this is secretary clinton's adopted home state. this is where -- it's not a crime. i just made that point. born in illinois. if we can win here, it absolutely opens the door to a path toward victory to the white house. >> he's totally right. it is her fake home state. one of her fake home states. unfortunately for him, all of the democratic states of course are proportional. they don't believe in winner take all. everybody get astro if i on the democratic side -- gets a trophy, you get one for showing up. >> with 239 delegates -- up 259 up for grabs in new york. a huge grab there. >> a huge carpet bag there. >> that's good! >> now to the republican side and senator ted cruz racked up more delegates in the state of colorado. >> because he victory not coming out without a challenge from donald trump himself. >> holy smokes. here's kristin fisher. >> reporter: even before the results were in in colorado, the trump campaign was already saying that it was considering challenging them. at issue are several alleged ballot irregularities including four instances where the delegates were listed dun the wrong number, but they're down playing any issues. they say that any errors are minor and did not affect the outcome. so let's talk about that outcome. it was a clean sweep for ted cruz. he won all of colorado's 34 delegates which only increases the chances of a contested convention this summer. last night, cruz said he's confident that if there is a brokered convention, that he would merge the nominee. >> that scenario, i think we will go in with an overwhelming advantage. i believe the first ballot will be the highest vote total donald trump receives and on a subsequent ballot, we're going to win the nomination and earn a majority. >> reporter: as for donald trump, he took a few days off but he'll be back on the campaign trail with his sights set on the new york primary. 95 delegates are at stake. after his loss in colorado, the associated press projects that he would need to win nearly 60% of all the remaining delegates in order to clinch the nomination before the convention. and he's been winning at about 46%, so trump would have to increase his margin by quite a bit if he wants to hit that magic delegate number, 1,237, before cleveland. sandra, clayton and tucker? >> thank you. >> thanks so much. well, newspapers it's no secret are struggling these days and trying to keep up with online websites, news websites like buzzfeed. the bow he moths in the room. >> why not make up a fake headline?

can he? republican strategist and president and founder, lisa has done the math. >> hi, tucker. >> just to clarify, it is possible for donald trump to get to the majority, by july. how does he do it? >> you're right. yes. he's the only one right now who has a chance of securing that 1,237 number. however, i have to tell you, it's going to be tough for him. he's got a narrow path here, so he has to do really well. right now he's been getting 46%. he actually needs to improve upon the margins of getting a little over 60% of the remaining delegates to get that 1,237. >> okay. so this is enormously complicated the math here. let's go month by month. let's break it down quickly and make it simple. >> sure, so we have the month of april. april is key here, because he's had losses in wisconsin. what needs to reclaim the narrative. he needs a big win under his belt. we have new york, his home state. tailor made for trump, 95 delegates there. then we head over to the northeast, we have numerous contests there, rhode island, delaware which is a winner take all state. so the month of april, he needs to get about 189 delegates to try to keep on his path to 1,237. >> that would leave him at 932 best case scenario. so may, what happens then? >> well, he's really looking at the northeast on april 19th and the 26th. and california on june 7th. but he won't be able to get there with those contests alone. he's got to win in may, win some of the contests as well. so he's looking at about 127 delegates in the month of may. there are contests almost every week in may. so he has to bring home the delegates in the proportional states as well. indiana is a big state for him. that's the first contest on may 3rd. he's coming off major wins in the northeast in april. that could help carry him to indiana and pick up some major delegates there. >> some of the states are tough for him, like indiana. if gets to 1,237, that brings us into the final month of voting in june. what happens then? >> june is a huge date. obviously this is the last day of the contest. you have which is 172 delegates at stake, which is so important for him to do well there. his campaign is estimating that hopefully he gets around two-thirds of the 172. so in the month of june, he needs to get around 178 of the delegates. mind you, it's not just that state, you have washington and oregon where he needs to pick up delegates as well. also new jersey which is a winner take all state there. he needs to sweep that state. >> interesting. he's going to need a lot of momentum in order to pull it off. lisa boothe, thank you for doing that. >> thank you, tucker. well, up next, bernie sanders has won seven out of the last eight contests over hillary clinton. he now says that bill clinton her husband owes the country an apology for defending her. we have got details top of the hour. and then a sorority cancels the kentucky derby party, and you know the reason -- it's racist somehow. we have that up next. mary buys a little lamb. one of millions of orders on this company's servers. accessible by thousands of suppliers and employees globally. but with cyber threats on the rise, mary's data could be under attack. with the help of the at&t network, a network that senses and mitigates cyber threats, . . try the superior hold... ...of fixodent plus adhesives. they help your denture hold strong more like natural teeth. and you can eat even tough food. fixodent. strong more like natural teeth. fixodent and forget it. . . welcome back. a sorority at dartmouth college is canceling a kentucky derby party after an outcry from students that it was racist. is this another example of oversensitive youth, and was there really an outcry or one person?

in fact it has nothing to do with race, it's about horses. we're not canceling it. why doesn't anyone say that? >> there's this attitude now, and one student said this -- i wrote about this -- she said if even one person is offended, then obviously we need to cancel. it snoubl no. obviously, there's anything in the world, there's going to be at least one person -- >> that was what the school said. they said if anyone of offended, here's the school -- the chair says, we realize if anyone on campus felt uncomfortable or upset with the theme, then we obviously shouldn't have it." >> obviously she does not understand how the world works. >> how long before parents who are working second jobs to pay for the nonsense say, you know, a lot of this is a lie?

"markets sink as trade war looms." "u.s. soldiers refuse orders to kill i'll isis families." and "trump on nobel prize short list." trump would have to do well in the remaining primaries and beat the democratic nominee in november. just in case you were wondering what the headlines might look like if all this comes to be in a trump administration, now you know. >> thanks. >> according to some. >> the "boston globe." >> yeah. >> thanks. here's a bit of news that i find hard to believe. according to the state newspaper, if i'm reading this correctly, in south carolina, you remember the race this, of course, the primary last month, month and a half ago. ted cruz came in 1/3 that race. >> got crushed. >> that's right. according to the state newspaper, he may now have more delegates than donald trump. >> how? >> how? well, you can win delegates after the fact. going totally around voters to get the delegates. >> is this because they've been meeting wound one with delegates? >> i believe that's true. what you're seeing is a lot of contests are not democratic in the way we understand it. one person, one vote. voters decide who the winner is. that's not actually the way it works. on temperatudemocratic side, it all the way it works. bernie sanders swept wyoming -- >> she will wind one four superdelegates. while he wins wyoming, she's able to pick up in states where he's had a string of recent victories. he won seven in a row. >> now wyoming. >> i was joking earlier, if you explain to a 5-year-old how it process works, one vote, one person. trying to explain it to a child, no. if you win a state, you may lose a state. you'll get more delegates if you lose which makes no sense. >> you group in this country. weren't you taught as a child that the winners, the person with the most sfloets. >> yeah, and my -- sfloets. >> votes? >> yeah, and my concern is enthusiasm. the tension for the race has been so high. you could argue that was donald trump bringing tension. what is that going to do if people are discouraged, they feel their vote doesn't count? >> they feel cheated. they become volatile. if you wake up like, wait a second, you told me my vote mattered, you told me to calm down and take out my frustrations at the ballot box, i do, and you ignored the outcome, i don't know. it's a dangerous thing. >> "saturday night live" has been all over this election. they've been having fun with hillary clinton. of course, you remember her trip to new york city and new york this week. and she was going through the subway and had a little trouble with the card. >> just a little bit. >> which by the way, if you've ever done, those things are garbage and don't work half the time anyway. i'm sort of her side.

"the washington examiner's" chief political correspondent, byron york. great to see you. the "wall street journal" two days ago had yet another op-ed saying, you know, let's put someone who can win in the nomination. this is a dream that has not died among republican,lease. what would happen if the party and its donors actually did that? >> we don't know exactly what would happen in any of the scenarios. we have people say figure donald trump is the nominee, they won't vote. and if it's not donald trump they won't vote. there has been a fantasy among some in the gop elite that what they should do is get rid of trump, cruz, and find some sort of white knight. we hear most about paul ryan. paul ryan did nothing to dispel speculation the other day by releasing what looked like a campaign ad. he said over and over he's not interested in being a white kpoo knight at the convention. karl rove said perhaps a fresh face would be better as a republican nominee. the basic debate you'll have is should the republican nominee be somebody that people actually voted for. if you believe that, it's really got to be trump or cruz. if you don't, well, it could be anybody. >> here's one of the poll questions i thought was interesting. if trump wins the most delegates but loses the nomination, what would you do? 66% support the republican party. 11% support third party. 11% don't know. 6 won't vote. and 4% would vote democratic. any of those numbers would prevent the republican nominee from becoming president. >> reporter: it could well be true. the -- what's going to be so important at this convention is the perception of fairness. if trump comes in with the most delegates but fewer than the 1, 235 he needs to clinch the nomination -- 1,237 he needs to clinch the nomination, what happens, is he so close that people think he should get it? is he a good distance away and everybody thinks it's a jump ball? for trump support force walk out from the convention if he is not the nominee with some sense of satisfaction, there will have to be the perception of fairness. it condition be a situation in which people feel the rules have been manipulated to take them away from trump. you mentioned that in the state of south carolina. if you have delegate selections at the state level where delegates on the second ballot. the delegates in south carolina, we should remember, are bound to vote for trump on the first ballot. on the second ballot, if they abandon trump, who knows. >> when they support trump, cruz, hillary, bernie, they believe in fairness. the idea that delegates who are there because of votes cast by actual voters get to ignore voters in the second ballot is weird, isn't it? >> yeah. that has been kind of the hope of the never trump forces, and the delegates are currently committed by law to vote for trump when the commitment is released during the first ballot. then they'll vote for somebody other than trump. it's -- you know, you're right, voters want to believe that there's some connection between the votes that they cast and the result at the convention. they're getting an ugly education in what it may not be the case. >> we'll have to teach our kids something else about democracy. thank you. coming up, do you know anyone at work like this?

>> he was invital, but he was invital by somebody who doesn't speak -- invited by somebody who doesn't speak for the vatican itself. one of the great mistakes of journalism when it comes to dealing with the vatican and catholic church is anybody who happens to work within or for the vatican, the press immediately says the vatican has said this. it would be like saying, you know, anybody who works for the federal government, you know, saying the white house has declared. no. this was a bishop. he's been in the vatican a long time and runs basically a think tank of social science. and he made the invitation for bernie sanders to come. i think the vatican needs to step in and say, if he's coming, he's not going to get any press, he's not going to be with the pope. this is an election cycle. i think what bernie sanders would want more than anything else would be to have a picture taken with him and the pope. >> of course. i mean, if a cabinet secretary invoting rights someone controversial -- invites someone controversial, he can say that. >> he runs vatican city, but there's a lot of departments and the invitation was made. i think he's going to be coming, it should be a low-key thing. it's a think tank. he should be only to all ideas, listen to all sides when it comes to economic. they're talking about a moral economy. building a moral economy. listen to him. that's fine. don't use it as a campaign prop, don't allow bernie sanders to use it as a campaign prop. bernie sanders stands also for a lot of things that the catholic church is morally against like abortion. >> historically, just pull this back. i'm trying to remember, maybe you can help me. obviously you lived in the vatican. historically, presidents traveling to the vatican or presidential candidate traveling to the vatican, is this normal? >> presidents definitely. presidential candidates during an election cycle, i can't remember any. i'd have to choke that to verify. >> you don't recall -- >> no. and even pope francis has been very careful, for example, when there was the campaign in his own country, argentina. presidential election. he kept all of the candidates at an arm's distance. and i think that's what he needs to do here in this election cycle. both among the democrats and the republicans. >> good stuff. father jonathan, thanks for being here. >> it's amazing, so many people said the pope has invited bernie sanders. that's not true. >> i don't think bernie will go out of his way to clarify that. just a guess. >> i don't know. >> thank you. good to see you. coming up, the "boston globe" isn't even hiding its point of view. this morning, their front-page trashing trump. it's fake but may represent their real views. melissa mccarthy's new movie in theaters now. >> how wealthy am i?

>> i think it becomes a slippery slope argument here. i'm saying that i do agree, first of all, people who are just arrested and not convicted, they shouldn't be denied just flat-out. i agree with that. but the people who are proposing these guidelines aren't people affected by it in their affluent communities behind the gates. let them live in the communities where annex couldn't is going to be renting right next door to them, see what their stance is. it's easy to ask everyone else to swallow the pill. that's not our system works. the rationale behind this is it's having a disproportionate impact on minorities who are disproportionately imprisoned in our prison system. my thing is i agree with that, but we should tackle that issue separately and at its core. we shouldn't try to slap a band aid on laws that may affect minorities. if we take that rationale into account, we're going to be taking down that into account to see if it has any effect on minorities and try to change that. that's not how our system works. >> how do you propose that we are able to accept these individuals who have been in prison and paid their time from low-level offenses, have convictions?

"fox & friends" hour three is about to start but first i want to tell you about this. do you have a coworker who looks like this? >> sorry. you have to come with me to the trump protest tomorrow. it's going to be wild. >> i really want to. sorry. >> why not? you know it's awful. don't you want to feel the ben? >> what can you do to keep your office from turning into the political circus like the actual race? "fox & friends" hour four starts right now. good morning. we've got a fox news alert for you. brand-new polls released less than a minute ago out of new york and pennsylvania give us a snapshot into the race for the republican and democratic nominations. here's the first one. on the republican side, donald trump in new york up 54%. he leads his nearest competitor john kasich at 22% and third place, ted cruz. >> over at pennsylvania he's at 48 pistorius dsh 48% to john kasich 22% there. virtually tide though the margin of error there. >> the preference in new york, hillary clinton, 53%. bernie sanders, 37%. and over in pennsylvania, hillary clinton leading by 11 points at 49%. bernie sanders, 38%. >> what's so interesting about these polls when you dig into them a little bit, donald trump is actually better positioned within his party than hillary clinton is within hers? trump is leading every demographic territory. age, gender, on educational attainment. doesn't matter if you went to college or not. on the democratic side, hillary clinton is losing men by a lot. head-to-head match-up, it puts hillary clinton at 53% in new york. donald trump at 37%. it's going to be a battle ground, though, pennsylvania. clinton verse trump in pennsylvania. 44% to 44%. >> what's interesting is all the attention and it's certainly my thought too, we've paid all the tension to the republican side, the fractions are real. the democratic side, i think we've under played it. the democratic side, hillary clinton is losing voters under 45 to a guy who honeymooned in the soviet union. she's losing men to this elderly socialist? really? they have massive problems. >> perhaps that's why donald trump is taking a break and quietly he's just on twitter a little bit but he has no scheduled appearances. bernie sanders wins a string of seven in a row across the west. i mean, this could be big trouble for hillary clinton. that's why the bernie sanders campaign, we're going to talk to tom beven from real clear politics in a moment. his thoughts are the bernie sanders campaign is now mounting a real plan for a contested convention, and they see the pledged delegates going in his favor in a direction that maybe we didn't anticipate a number of months ago. >> wow. by the way, you hinted at the top of the hour, tucker, about this boston globe, the fake headlines that the paper is publishing, imagining trump's america. these are making real headlines this morning. the boston globe putting out headlines like this, deportations to begin. >> markets sink as trade war looms. >> u.s. soldiers refuse orders to kill isis families. >> president trump calls for tripling of ice force, riots continue. >> and a hero in the hub, howie carr. can you tell the difference between this fake boston globe front page and the real boston globe front page. they seem very similar. >> exactly. i rolled my eyeballs and put it aside when i picked up the paper. this is the paper that will coat journalism stall warts such as jason blair who got let go because of making stories up. this is a newspaper, tucker, that ten years ago during the bush administration ran a photograph from of a porn movie and saying it was a u.s. soldier raping an iraqi during the gulf war. the boston globe was bought by the "new york times" back around 1990 for $1.1 billion. billion dollars. you know this. and they were sold recently a few years ago to the owner of the boston red sox, john henry for $1. the only asset it had was its real estate. the red sox overpaid for it. if this is the b.s. they are putting out, especially given their record of journalism malpractice. >> would we ever see the paper publish the inverse of these headlines? >> that the borders are secure, wage are increasing? would we ever see that? >> absolutely not. the other thing about this, clayton, is that the donald trump campaign got 49% of the vote here in massachusetts. this is still the state that he did the best in of any state in the union so far. he will do better in new york, probably. it's just absurd that they would do something like this. >> howie, probably even less likely than posting positive headlines about donald trump or any republican candidate is if they were to do any negative headlines with hillary clinton, for example, on the cover? >> they have taken care of democrats going way back. you know, going back to the 1960s. as you know, ted kennedy, the late senator, the president's brother was thrown out of harvard for cheating in the 50s. they wanted to get the news out. they brought down a globe editor they said we're going to give you the story about ted kennedy cheating and the president of the united states, jfk says i want the story beneath the fold and i want the story not to have the cheating leaked. obviously, nothing has changed since 1962. the globe is still in with the democrats. >> why do they fear secure borders so much? >> you've been raising these questions. i don't get it. what does it say, deportations to begin? how about this, immigration's laws to be enforced. it's the same thing, right? donald trump is -- just wants to enforce laws that were passed by democratic congress back in 1952. you know, truman was the president. he was a democrat. he wants to enforce democrats only laws, and suddenly he's a racist and a nativist and -- dozen owephobic, whatever word you want to use. >> we've had more deportations than the bush administration. >> there's lies. there's damn loois loois as lies in sticks as you know. we begin now with a fox news alert. a former nfl player has been shot dead. police say it happened overnight in new orleans. former saints defensive end will smith was shot multiple times while confronting the driver of a humaner -- hummer that rear ended the car that smith and his wife were riding in. smith died at the scene. his wife was also shot and she has been taken to the hospital. a statement from the family says we are thankful for the outpouring of support and prayers. we ask that you continue to respect the family's privacy as they grieve the loss of a devoted husband, father, and friend. the shooter is now in custody. developing right now, a search-and-rescue is under way for a missing sailor. navy officials say the sailor was on board the dock landing ship u.s.s. carter hall near cape hatteras when he disappeared during a training exercise. several units are helping with the search. the navy has not released the sailor's name. the texas woman captured in mexico just two days after being placed open the fbi's most wanted list may not be coming home any time soon. brenda delgado is being held in prison but mexican officials say it could be two months to a year before she is extradited. delgado a mexican citizen is accused of masterminding the murder of dallas dentist dr. kendra hatcher that happened last year who had just started a relationship with delgado's ex-boyfriend. a cop being hailed a hero after saving three lives in ten days. >> my family is forever grateful. >> a new jersey police officer, brian strawchdbine. she was drve saved a woman who was being beaten. he also pulled a unconscious woman from a burning car. >> it reminded me why i wanted to do this job. i didn't realize how emotional something like that would be just because it is a real impact. i was able to make a real impact open somebody's live. >> that cop being hailed a hero. those are your headlines. janice dean standing by, by the hay stacks to talk to our viewers. >> this is awesome. this is a huge crowd and the sun has come out and it is warming us to here on the plaza where are you from?

isn't it a middle finger to voters? >> i agree. i don't know if there's any good outcomes for republicans at this point if it's not trump or cruz, they are going to go to convention with 80% of the delegates. john kasich or marco rubio, republicans are going to be putting up someone who is not the choice of the republican -- the base voters, and it gets even worse if you go to someone who didn't even run, who didn't even stand during this primary season. either way, i think it's going to be a -- it could be a real bad outcome for republicans. >> we've been hearing about these unbound delegates and how the campaigns are trying to woo these unbound delegates. we've heard about the infrastructure really that the cruz campaign has created to go, sit down, have lunch, talking to them, convincing them to move to the other side. who are these unbound delegates and are they that easily swayed? >> there are a certain number of states, north dakota, wyoming, about 200 of these folks who are unbound. they go to convention and they can vote for whoever they want on the first ballot. about 90, 95% of the folks who are going to be bound to vote for a certain candidate on the first ballot after that, they can be free agents. that's where ted cruz is flexing his delegate muscle, trying to get his people installed. if that first ballot fails, he's able to get people on the corner on that ballot. these are elected officials in these various states. they are not necessarily the folk that who support donald trump. >> at what point does this become bribery potentially? if i say if you vote for me, i'll make you ambassador to belgium or i'll pay off your mortgage, at what point does it become a legal problem for these candidates potentially? >> it's a good question. look, i think they are certainly able to woo these folks. they are able to sit them down, build relationships with them. they are not necessarily able to walk in there with bags of cash and hand it over. part of that too is before the convention even starts, there will be a rules committee, but there will also be a delegate seating committee and if there's any sort of hanky panky, those people could have trouble getting seated at the convention itself, so that's where a lot of that stuff, if there is any of that that goes on it's sort of out of bounds. >> a daily read for those in the know. busted in the act. a home owner watches two men break into his home live. the horrifying individual next. when it comes to politics. do you have a coworker like this?

>> i think most people know exactly what new york values are. >> i am from new york. i don't. >> you are from new york, so you might not. not a lot of conservatives come out of manhattan. i'm just saying. >> new york gal, host of sunday morning furs, maria bartiromo joins us now. one of my favorite moments still. it was so real. you are from new york. you really are a product of this city. you've been here all this life. what are new york values? >> well, i think, gosh, it's really hard to generalize new york values. that's what ted cruz got in trouble. new york is typically a liberal city. when you look at the leadership in new york, even though we've had by the way several republican mayors the last time two times before mayer de blasio. if you are going to call it new york values, that's a real generalization. he alienated a lot of new york voters. trump up, big with women in new york? >> let's not forget, donald trump has spent a lot of time in new york, headquartered in new york, he is a new york -- and he just looks and sounds and is sort of like rough-and-tumble in some ways in terms of getting in your face. >> when he made that speech the other day, he said i feel so much better. these are my people. i'm happy to be home, and it's just so easy to see why he's doing so well here. big supporters showed up. he said there were 17,000. there were 10,000 people who showed up at that first new york speech. >> it's men and women. trump is from new york. he's a new yorker. he's got a lot of properties in new york. it doesn't surprise me new york women are supporting donald trump. >> they are we're talking about new york values with he had coxer going to get his take on all of this and how important this next week is in terms of these candidates resonating with new yorkers ahead of the primary on the 19th. we're talking about the broad economy with christine will he -- le guarde. >> the trends are a little bit on the downside and what is most concerning is that we see risks on the, you know, like you to be high on the horizon and bigger and those risks are the chinese slowdown in growth, the lower commodity prices for tighter and the monetary policies across the globe producing this effect on exchange rate and on monetary policies. >> fearful of the future. >> she says the economy has worsen ds in the last six months that's the take away from the report that's coming out on tuesday. i have to mention we're going to talk to louise miranda because the dems are dealing with exactly what the republicans are. >> great stuff. her show starts in 12 minutes. you got to watch it. >> i'll see you on your morning show on mornings with maria on wednesday this week. >> thank you. i love when you join us. come up next, it's a dad bod calendar. the photo shoot and it's everywhere on the internet designed to help a man with cancer. the calendar click. ♪ ♪ ♪ mobility is very important to me. that's why i use e*trade mobile. it's on all my mobile devices, so it suits my mobile lifestyle. and it keeps my investments fully mobile... even when i'm on the move... ahhh. and it keeps my investments fully mobile... burning of diabetic nerve pain, these feet learned the horn from my dad and played gigs from new york to miami. but i couldn't bear my diabetic nerve pain any longer. so i talked to my doctor and he prescribed lyrica. lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions or suicidal thoughts or actions. tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worsening depression, or unusual changes in mood or behavior. or swelling, trouble breathing, rash, hives, blisters, muscle pain with fever, tired feeling or blurry vision. common side effects are dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain and swelling of hands, legs, and feet. don't drink alcohol while taking lyrica. don't drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. those who have had a drug or alcohol problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica. now i have less diabetic nerve pain. ask your doctor about lyrica. bill de blasio for shady fundraising activities. several contributors may have received donations from two investors in cahoots with nypd officials. we'll bring you the latest as we find it. and a 10-year-old boy gets a massive surprise after no one in his class showed up for his birthday. arkansas state troopers decided to give him a day he would not forget. they brought him gifts, a cake, even let him fetch with one the k-9s. he was so happy he cried a little bit. clayton. 27-year-old jeremy henzly was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor last year. >> so they created a calendar and they call this themselves, the dead bod calendar click. the group is raising money for jeremy by stripping down and showing off their beer bellies and apparently it's what women want. the photos have gone viral. joining us now, the original dad bod calendar click, and bob. sorry about that. good to have all you guys here. you're all best buds right?

hi, friends. good morning. it's the 17th of april. i'm anna kooiman. we do have a fox news alert for you now. a deadly earthquake in ecuador sends people screaming. the 7.8 magnitude quake shaking a nation. at least 77 are dead. more than 500 are injured. buildings flattened, now the military is being called in to search for survivors. plus an exodus from gitmo. nine detainees some listed as high risk sent to saudi arabia. now the question is whether the country will be able to stop these men looking into killing americans from rejoining the fight. and what does george clooney think about the expensive fund-raiser he just threw for hillary clinton. >> 353,000 for a couple to be a cochair. do you look at yourself around that's an obscene amount of money? >> yes. i think it's an obscene amount of money. >> at least he's aware of. >> are these poisoning politics? he thinks so. he just threw one. "fox & friends" begins right now. ♪ all right. tomorrow is tax day. so come on down to the plaza this morning, relieve some stress. we have punching bags and massages. >> we have last minute tax advice. >> did you do your taxes yesterday? >> need to write that check. going to do that tomorrow. >> that's right. >> learn what your effective tax rate is. there's bar there. that's when you learn about what your effective tax rate. >> we are going to be doing some karaoke this morning. so i'm hoping everybody at home has some mimosas or bloody mary's. none of us can think very well. >> can i ask, are we doing mimosas because of tax day? >> sing for our supper. >> america wants to see clayton morris to sing. >> give the people what they want. >> i'm going to provide that for you. >> two minutes after the the hour. another deadly earthquake strikes within a matter of days, this time on ecuador's northwest peninsula. 7.8 magnitude quake crumbling homes and buckling a major overpass. at least 77 are dead. landslides now making it hard for crews to get to the hardest hit areas. it comes days after two quakes in southwestern japan killed at least 29 people and more than 1,500 others. heavy rains slowing the search for survivors there. . call it the rules of enragement and russia has done it again. >> on the deck, below the bridge wing. >> well, earlier this week you remember we told you about those russian jets buzzing by our navy ships repeatedly. well, another aggressive display, this time in the sky. a russian jet flying 50 feet from the wing tip of a u.s. aircraft on thursday. the white house condemning the fly byes as the most reckless acts since the cold war. and man who shot and killed a maryland firefighter has been released and no charges were filed. 39-year-old veteran firefighter john ulmschneider here on the left died from his wounds. 19-year-old volunteer firefighter kevin swain also shot, but is in stable condition. they were responding to a welfare call made by the gunman's brother who was also shot but will be okay. it is unclear why no charges were filed but investigators say it is medically related. a "seinfeld" reunion of sorts on "saturday night live." >> how exactly are you going to break up the big banks? >> break it up. >> how, how? >> once i'm elected president i'll have a nice -- in the white house gym, i'll go to the big banks, yada, yada, yada, they'll be broken up. >> larry david is the cocreator of the hit sitcom that starred julia louis-dreyfus. >> there was a whole episode called the yada yada yada. what's in your tax plan? we don't know. meanwhile, more this morning out of guantanamo bay. the united states had just released nine guantanamo bay prisoners to join a real thing -- call it jihad rehab in saudi arabia. they have ties to saudi arabia. many of them had been cleared to be released since 2010. >> making good on campaign promise from president obama, trying to close this. we have seen this drip drip drip. let's look at who the guys are. the baddest of the bad. abdallah, he was trained in large caliber weapons under osama bin laden. another here high risk, former bodyguard to osama bin laden. and then we've got one more there, if we can scroll up there. who is said to be like a son to osama bin laden. and the president, pete, said that guantanamo bay is used as a terror recruitment tool. is that the case? you used to be a guard there. i mean, you say that the conditions are pretty good. >> they're incredibly good you you think we haven't attempted to do rehab there? they tried to de-escalate the extremism. the only difference there is we'll go back -- they'll go back to jihad. these guys are very dangerous. this white house is obsessed with closing guantanamo bay no matter what. they'll send them to saudi arabia where we'll have no control over them. >> yet, none of the guys have been charged. so they have been sitting in the legal limbo. supporters have argued try them in the u.s. prison. these go back to the george w. bush administration when he repeatedly tried to close guantanamo bay and these guys have been caught in the legal limbo. >> not for lack of trying. there's a commission's process that could be efficient. but because it's been caught up in a legal limbo these guys are stuck. there's no doubt there's a rap sheet on all of them, but the administration -- they have let go even worse of the folks. but now you have all yemeni to saudi arabia, it's too unstable to send them there. it's part of the slow drip. now to the campaign trail, because we saw last night another clean sweep for republican ted cruz over donald trump in a voterless victory in wyoming. no votes, but delegates. >> but the party leaders may have some tricks up their sleeve. >> gareth tenney has more. >> reporter: it's a win that's sure to be criticized by some of the rivals, notably donald trump. wyoming awards delegates in a multitiered caucus system. similar to colorado's which is highly criticized last week. here's how the total delegate breakdown looks now. trump's lead over cruz is now less than 200 delegates. john kasich still far behind with 144. ted cruz says going into tuesday momentum is on his side. >> you've got the entire spectrum of the republican party coming together and unifying. >> after this weekend when he gets wiped out in new york which he will, he gets wiped out, he no longer has the road to the nomination. >> reporter: there appears to be some growing discord among party leaders. yesterday, the chairman of the party's rule committee accused top officials of trying to prevent changes to the rules that would take away their power at the convention to nominate someone outside of the current candidates. something that many establishment republicans have discussed since they view both trump and cruz as undesirable options that are likely to lose in the general election. back to you. >> thanks so much. meanwhile, hillary clinton, you know, a tale of two candidates. hillary clinton going out to the west coast yesterday and to hollywood for a big sit down, a big fund-raising dinner with george clooney and his wife. and bernie sanders going to the vatican to meet with the pope. meanwhile t criticism about clinton and the big money events $353,000 per couple to go to this george clooney dinner. >> and thatt have had gold flecks or diamonds in it. we talk about the xosh tantd -- exorbitant dinner costs but this is a way -- >> it's $353,000 per couple. >> not per plate. >> nbc's chuck todd, i almost said todd chuck, he sat down with george clooney to ask him about the obscene amount of money in politics. >> do you look at how much is being raised and i think the -- i think it's $353,000 to be a cochair. do you look at yourself and think that's an obscene amount of money? >> yes, i think it's an obscene amount of money. we had some protesters last night wh we pulled up in san francisco. and they're right to protest. they're absolutely right. it is about obscene amount of money. the sanders campaign is right. it is ridiculous that we should have this kind of money in politics i agree. >> this money is poisoning politics. >> what a great hillary clinton surrogate. >> this is why donald trump said, he said i'm not flying out the wyoming, i'm not doing to spend all this money to take out the delegates and schmooze them. >> it's a big difference talking to delegates than hollywood types. delegates are grass roots activists at the end of the day, and hollywood elites who can afford 350,000 is a whole other echelon. >> let us know what you think. is george clooney right? and a record number of snowfall yesterday. it's not over yet. >> yeah. that's the same wicked weather that also is expected to bear down on the great plains. >> and rick reichmuth has the latest. >> they're correcting me yesterday i meant it's the 16th, when the snow hit. >> yes, i don't know what day it is. there's something about tax stuff going on. >> can somebody get a calendar? >> today is the 17th. tomorrow is the 18th which is tax day. >> either way, here's what you have to put in perspective. denver's second snowiest month of the year is april. it's spring, it shouldn't be snowing, but it's not abnormal at all. it's big snowfall to kind that kind of snow. when you have that this time of the year you have a lot of warmer air generally in front of it. that's what we have going on across the central plains. 63 in kansas city. 31 in denver where you have all that snow and still snowing this that area. this is blocked where we see this -- nothing going on across the east coast. all of that pressure is trying to move up to the east, but it continue, and it's stuck there. we have the rain across the plains it will fall again today and tomorrow and even into tuesday. a lot of flooding again across parts of texas and oklahoma. and the snow is falling for a little longer across colorado. don't worry, it will warm up this week. we'll be back into the 60s and 70s in the latter part of the week. tomorrow, i think we will see 80s up and down the eastern seaboard. >> tulips are blooming. >> well done. the video is incredible. quick thinking dad saving his kid from being killed by an out of control car. the split second decision you have to see again and again. holy smokes. bernie sanders and hillary clinton battling for al sharpton's endorsement. but is it time for african-americans to consider a republican? but first, we're taking out our anger ahead of tax day. come on down to the plaza and relieve some stress. ♪ i could get used to this. now you can, with the luxuriously transformed 2016 lexus es and es hybrid. ♪ yeah? then how'd i get this... [ voice of dennis ] ...safe driving bonus check? every six months without an accident, allstate sends a check. silence. are you in good hands? my m...about my toothpasteice. she eveand mouthwash.ice... but she's a dentist so...i kind of have to listen. she said "jen, go pro with crest pro-health advanced." advance to healthier gums... ...and stronger teeth from day one. using crest toothpaste and mouthwash makes my... ...whole mouth feel awesome. and my teeth are stronger too. crest-pro health advanced... ...is superior to colgate total... ...in these 5 areas dentists check. this check up? so good. go pro with crest pro-health advanced. mom's right...again! we built our factories here because of a huge natural resource. not the land. the water. or power sources. it's the people. american workers. they build world-class products. and that builds communities. and a better future. for all of us. because making something in america means so much, to so many. weathertech. proudly made in america. i think that the black -- the black vote cannot be taken for granted and how we define not taking it for granted is the issue. because what we're saying is you must come with some clear, concrete proposals. not sound bites, but lay out a plan. >> well, bernie sanders and hillary clinton competing for al sharpton's endorsement. both speaking to voters at the action network convention this week, by do they have the african-american's best interests in mind? joining me right now is mayoral candidate dr. michael faulkner. thank you for being here. before we talk about the mayoral race, democrats are trying to bid for the black vote here in new york city. compare hillary clinton and bernie sanders on that. >> well, i think hillary historically has -- feels like she has a lock on the vote. i think bernie has stimulated the interests, but it's -- to me it's more of the same. while bernie stimulates the interests of the millennial and the younger voter, i think hillary represents the establishment and the failed policies and plans that have been going on for 50 years. it just hasn't worked. >> you talking about policy. what has hillary clinton done to have a lock on the black vote? >> i don't think she has a lock on the black vote but certainly the poll numbers and her record thus far has shown an overwhelming amount of black voters have voted for her. but they haven't had any choices. in the republican contest, that's where the choice is really going to be made, to give them an opportunity. i'm out there every day talking to real voters in new york, particularly in the african-american community. because i wanted to start there because i really wanted to see if the message of republican values would really resonate there. and it is resonating in an overwhelming fashion. and i can't tell you how many people are telling me they're tired of the promises for relief through a welfare state. they're tired of the failed policies for the past 50 years. it just hasn't worked. they know it hasn't worked. and the democrats don't have anything new. so hillary is more of the same. >> so before we get to the republicans on the democrat side, you've got the unemployment rate amongst the black community almost double that of the general population. >> under a black president. >> under a black president who said he'd improve those conditions and heal the nation and we have seen a substantial racial divide unfortunately. what is bernie sanders offering that's different than hillary clinton. can he bite into the vote? >> he might bite into the vote per se, but his policies -- the things he's talking about are unrealistic. most serious voters understand that bernie is talking from lala land. people have lived long enough to say, wait a minute, this is preposterous. this can never happen in a gridlocked washington. >> you're going -- you're here in new york, spreading the principles of republicanism. briefly what can republican candidates do to recapture more of the votes? >> we can talk about jobs, starting businesses. we can do exactly what i'm doing. talking to voters and learning from them, getting understand -- understanding what their concern is and being able to deal with that. i'm doing that. i'm taking on bill de blasio head to head on these issues because he explains it as a -- you know, he wants to be the progressive voice for america. >> yep. >> and we're not having it. >> turns out we're not making much progress. reverend michael faulkner. thank you. we told you about the expert trainer known as the tiger whisperer mauled to death by the cat she trained. jeff corwin is here about what he thinks went wrong. and think outside the bun, check it out. the student whose yearbook photo will go down in history. i accept i'm not 22. i accept i do a shorter set these days. i even accept i have a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. but i won't play anything less than my best. so if there's something better than warfarin, i'm going for it. eliquis. eliquis reduced the risk of stroke better than warfarin, plus it had significantly less major bleeding than warfarin... eliquis had both... that's what i wanted to hear. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... ...and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. i accept i don't play ...quite like i used to. but i'm still bringing my best. and going for eliquis. reduced risk of stroke plus less major bleeding. ask your doctor... ...if switching... ...to eliquis is right for you. great time for a shiny floor wax, no? not if you just put the finishing touches on your latest masterpiece. timing's important. comcast business knows that. that's why you can schedule an installation at a time that works for you. even late at night, or on the weekend, if that's what you need. because you have enough to worry about. i did not see that coming. don't deal with disruptions. get better internet installed on your schedule. comcast business. built for business. we're back with some quick headlines. he's a strong ally of nancy pelosi and he was supposed to have a clear path to the maryland senate seat, but donna evans is being favored over chris van holland. the lesser known edwards has run with a message of economic home. businesses may be quote fleeing another liberal paradise, california cheered when the $15 minimum wage went into effect but now the clothing apparel are feeling the heat. american apparel fired about 500 people and turns out $15 an hour has unintended consequences. anna, over to you. 25 minutes after the hour. at this hour, investigators still working to determine what went wrong when a veteran florida zookeeper known as the tiger whisperer was mauled to death by one of the giant cats she was caring for. performing a routine procedure on friday when the animal attacked. well, jeff corwin has worked with wild animals his entire career and he joins us now. jeff, thanks for being with us. i hate that we have a tragic story you're coming to us for today. this woman no doubt knew what she was doing. known as the tiger whisperer. can you get too comfortable? >> you can never get too comfortable, anna, when working with powerful predators like tigers. these are mighty creatures. they're the top of the food chain. they're equipped with some of the most powerful predatory skills so you can never get too comfortable. >> when dealing with the predatory animal what's kind of the protocol? is there supposed to be a barrier between you and the animal? what is it like in the zoo? >> that's a good question. zoological environments what they have is what is called protective separation. or protective contact which means that when you're working with powerful creatures like elephants or lions and tigers, these mighty predators, you have this barrier which basically keeps you safe from the animal you're working with. you're allowed to work with this creature, make sure it's fed, give it environmental stimulation but there's something between you and the animal to ensure that if something goes awry, you're able to keep yourself and the animal safe. >> you would think that this zookeeper was probably thinking, i have a bond with this animal. she had dedicated her entire life to fulfilling the work of the zoo, to bring these animals to, you know, children and teach them about environmental preservation and all of that through her work with this tighter. just a tragic situation. what do you think could have gone wrong? you know, this is a normal day to day thing. what do you think went wrong? >> absolutely, anna. you really touched this point so perfectly. this individual -- this was her life passion. her mission was to protect these animals and to share their story. and in zoos, tigers can serve as an ambassador to enlighten people on the plight that they s and poaching and educate people on the importance of protecting these species so i have no doubt this was her life passion and mission. but the truth is you can never get too comfortable with these animals. even though you can develop a relationship with these creatures, you always have in the back of your mind the reality that this is an incredibly powerful predator that weighs many times more than you do. never let your guard down. >> it's a wild animal. >> everyone that absolutely works with the animals can never forget. >> we're running out of time, but how will the tiger live out the rest of the days? will it be at the zoo and out in the exhibit and all of that? >> that's a good question. i think the bigger issue that we have to remember that tigers are incredibly endangered. this specific species there's only 250 left on the planet. and what the tiger did is what tigers do. they're powerful predators. that cannot be forgotten. i imagine the people that work at the zoo will keep this tiger as an ambassador of the species and continue to protect it. >> all right. jeff corwin, thank you for your insight today. appreciate it. a tragic story. coming up on "fox & friends" weekend, facebook skewed with donald trump. and warming up to cuba and what do we get in return? raul castro bashing america again. this senior photo season, thinking outside of your bun. if you have one as creative as this one, send it to us. down to you. >> yeah, good. across. come on! you know we said we'd take a look at our retirement plan today. not now! i'm cleaning the oven! yeah, i'm cleaning the gutters! well i'm learning snapchamp! chat. chat! changing the oil... (vo) it's surprising what people would rather do than deal with retirement. pressure-washing the... roses. aerating the lawn!

>> i would like to see a woman elected. >> well, president obama and vice president joe biden making it pretty clear how they feel about electing a woman into the white house. but according to our next guest, their wives would disagree. >> kate anderson brower is the author of "first women, the grace and power of america's modern first ladies." she joins us now. thanks for coming back. you were on the program about a year about about "the residence" and you interviewed the maids and the butlers and they talked about the first ladies and what the first delladies saying abou electing a woman as president? >> they said when a decision comes from the second floor it's coming from first lady. so i wanted to know what it's like to be a first lady. these are wives and mothers and how difficult that role is. they really -- there is a sisterhood among the women. i interviewed three former first ladies, and dug through the great letters that show the enduring relationship they had over time and just amazing things that you wouldn't think of like laura bush reaching out to michelle obama when she showed up at the white house for the tour, she brought an aide, an assistant which is a faux pas. she said this is a private tour, just for me and you. it was very sweet. she kind of took michelle under her wing and showed her where her girls could have their bedrooms in the white house. it's really about this sisterhood. >> so michelle obama, hearing the stories that she doesn't want hillary clinton in the white house? talk to us about that. >> well, i think michelle obama and hillary clinton have a difficult relationship. after 2008, michelle obama found it hard to forgive hillary, and she finds -- i was told by several people that the obamas look at the clintons as the political dynasty, and she looks down her nose at hillary clinton. as someone who's always striving and very ambitious. >> jill biden recently said that joe biden would make a good president. she's the first lady for the vice president. what do you make of that? of that as role as well. >> of being a first lady, i think it's very difficult. because you're wife and a mother and you're in this -- like you're kind of a prisoner in the white house. it's very difficult for the first lady. >> that's how they describe it? >> describe it? >> yeah. michelle obama can't wait to leave. she's counting down the days to leave the white house. >> she's complained she can't even roll down the window in her car ride. >> she was talking to one of obama's advisers who has kids the age of sasha and malia. it was soccer season, and she said, i bet you don't miss the carpools on the weekends. she said, you'd be surprised, i do. it's hard for these women. >> the book, is "first women: the grace and power of america's first ladies." thank you very much. coming up on the show, there are many lists about what to pack if you're about to go vacation. how about what not to pack? i need this. the packing dos and don'ts. i'll float around a suitcase for three hours and stare at it. >> it's brutal. my belly pain and constipation? i've heard it all. eat more fiber. flax seeds. yogurt. get moving. keep moving. i know! try laxatives. been there, done that. my chronic constipation keeps coming back. i know. tell me something i don't know. vo: linzess works differently from laxatives. linzess treats adults with ibs with constipation or chronic constipation. it can help relieve your belly pain, and lets you have more frequent and complete bowel movements that are easier to pass. do not give linzess to children under six and it should not be given to children six to seventeen. it may harm them. don't take linzess if you have a bowel blockage. get immediate help if you develop unusual or severe stomach pain, especially with bloody or black stools. the most common side effect is diarrhea sometimes severe. if it's severe stop taking linzess and call your doctor right away. other side effects include gas, stomach-area pain and swelling. talk to your doctor about managing your symptoms proactively with linzess. have you ever finished packing to realize your suitcase is so full you can't squeeze it shut? that's happened to me many times. travel expert francesca page is here to help. we're gearing up for travel season. >> nice to be here. >> i hover around the suitcase for like three hours. it's brutal. i mill about and can never figure out what to pack. let's start with the electronic and books. >> absolutely. you don't need to carry heavy books and magazines anymore. you can compartmentalize and use a lighter, slimmer version. a kindle or kindle fire here. this runs -- >> tiny. >> it is. it rauuns about $59. i think i got this at best buy. you can download your favorite books and magazines and pop it in your bag. super easy. >> they came out with the new kindle oasis. ti tiny. >> and you can download an educational app like dual lingo. it's better than heavy books. >> now to brass tacks. you see clothing, we only need three pieces? >> you only need three tops and bottoms that you can mix and match. if you notice, i'm using lightweight fabrics. great for the summer, it weighs almost nothing. >> if you're going for seven days, are you going to wear three tops -- you're going to mix -- >> you. can that's a minimum. you can mix and match. if you want to go smarter, take a blazer. you can add that in, too, also change up the shoes, accessories for women, necklaces, earrings, that kind of thing. >> how do we fold the jeans? >> denim is popular because it's durable and versatile and hides stains. the problem is, it takes up quite a bit of room. it's relatively heavy. my suggestion, take one pair of jeans and instead of folding, it's better and with most clothing to roll. it maximizes the space within your suitcase. >> nice. i see giant heels here. >> yeah. >> tell me with that. let's talk about the cosmetics and bath supplies. >> with toiletries, utilize whatever the hotel has to offer. whether it's free shampoos, conditioners, that kind of thing. go to the mini section. if you have brands you like, a dwayne reed, walgreens, cvs, you'll find mini versions of most of the high-end brands. you can get the smaller version, three own, tsa approved, take it on a carry-on. >> same with the cosmetics? >> you only need the basics. and get nice travel brushes, as well. clear cases so you can get through security easy, and you're good to go. >> perfect stuff. great to see you this morning. >> thank you. >> try to improve my packing experience next time. coming up, bill is at it again. the former president under fire for his comment about bernie supporters. is it time for him to take a break?

[ applause ] >> cut away just in time. >> yeah. >> oh. wow. >> ladies, tree trunks. >> hydromassage really getting through. that we'll check back in a moment. >> can't get through that. two minutes after the hour. we need to tell you about headlines starting with this fox news alert. another deadly earthquake striking in just a matter of days. this time on ecuador's northwestern coast. the 7.8-magnitude quake crumbling homes and businesses and buckling a major overpass. at least 77 people are dead, and hundreds more hurt. landslides now making it difficult for crews to get to the hardest hit areas. it comes days after two quakes in southwestern japan killed at least 29 people there and hurt more than 1,500 others. heavy rains slowing the search for survivors there. the search has been called ought for two teens swept out to sea at a san francisco beach. the two 17-year-olds had run into the surf with several other friends had they were pulled under by a strong current. the coast guard and the san francisco fire department spent nearly five hours searching for them. and wildlife experts say investigators still working to find out what went wrong after a florida zookeeper known as the tiger whisperer was mauled to death cared for. tv host jeff corwin has worked with wild animals for his entire career and joined us earlier to explain the dangers involved. >> the truth is, you can never get too comfortable with the animals. even though you can develop a relationship with these creatures, you always have in the back of your mind the reality that this is an incredibly powerful predator that weighs many times more than you do. >> stacy conwiser was performing a routine procedure on friday in palm beach when the animal attacked. and a whale of a surprise as two kayakers get an incredible visit from an unexpected guest. >> oh, my gosh! >> i thought the reaction would be a little stronger than that. come on, men. >> freaking out. yes, get to work. >> two men say that they spotted the humpback whale a funk off the coast of vancouver and wanted to see it up close. the enormous mammal emerged out of the water for air there right next to them. >> i'm sure there would be expletives if i saw this. this guy, no big deal. >> another day at the office. >> whale. seen that before. >> it's true. well, it's amazing. to the campaign trail where last night we saw another clean sweep for republican ted cruz over donald trump in another, some say, voterless victory in wyoming. >> with the new york primary looming, gop party leaders may have tricks up their sleeves. we have more live from washington, d.c., on this. good morning, garrett. >> reporter: good morning, pete, anna, and clayton. my coach used to say any win is a good win. yesterday, that was certainly true for ted cruz. he swept all 14 of wyoming's delegates at the state's party convention, but like in colorado, it's a win that's going to be criticized. both states award delegates in a multitiered caucus system that typically involves party activists more than general voter. two days ahead of new york's primary where cruz is polling in third place, the texas senator said moment sum all on his side. >> you've got the entire spectrum of the republican party coming together and unifying. >> after this weekend when he gets wiped out in new york which he will, gets wiped out, he no longer has a road to the nomination. >> reporter: even after his string of recent wins, ted cruz is 185 delegates behind donald trump, and john kasich is way behind with 144 overall. and looking ahead, over the next few days, party leaders are very much aware that a contested convention is looking ever more likely. and behind the scenes, there appears to be growing conflict between officials over how that will work. yesterday, the chairman of the party's rules committee accused top official of trying to prevent changes to convention rules that would take away the power of those top officials to nominate and push forward their own candidate at the convention, apart from those currently running. we'll see over the next few days as the rules committee hold their first meeting whether or not that will continue or not. back to you all. >> live from washington, d.c., we appreciate it. we want to bring in our own juan williams, co-host of "the five" and author of "we the people." he is here on a saturday morning. juan, great to see you. want to get your take on the democratic side of things. we didn't expect to see this coming when bill clinton was out on the campaign trail. he was talking about bernie sanders supporters. listen to what he said about taking a break and maybe wanting to shoot a few people. listen. >> one of the few things that i really haven't enjoy good this primary -- i think it's fine that students are enthusiastic for the opponent and sounds so good, let's shoot every third person on wall street, and everything will be fine. >> do you want to clarify the comment? >> it's a joke. ♪ >> a total joke. it's meant to point out that that's the unilateral explanation for everything that's wrong with america. >> juan, it was a joke. is he helping or hurting hillary at this point? >> well, he's a distraction, that's for sure. you know, the irony here is he's the most popular politician in america. people just love him. and the oddity is, the last two weeks or so, in his -- his conflict with black lives matter, remember he had that confrontation with them, then he had to apologize. now this one. it just, again, distracts from hillary clinton's message. he says it was mockery of bernie supporters. i think in fact people will take it as bill clinton going off, not knowing what he's doing, not understanding that this is going to become the story. >> mockery of bernie sanders' supporters who many are young, which hillary is lacking their support. and sanders' campaign manager had an interview with another network and said that really the clintons and democrats need to be careful not to turn off these young voters. do you think they're doing that? >> well, let me just say, i couldn't agree more. they've got to be very careful not to turn off those young voters. remember, a third of sanders' supporters say they could not support hillary clinton. so it's bernie or bust for them. and when you look at this, hillary clinton needs, if she is the nominee going forward, against whoever the republican might be, she's going to need to reassemble the coalition of young people, minorities, women, who elected barack obama. if she can't get those young people who feel so passionately about bernie sanders, then she's in big trouble because she will be losing a key element of that coalition. >> absolutely. well, speaking of coalitions and what it takes to be that, the candidate on the democrat side, it takes raising a lot of money. it turns out that hillary clinton was out in hollywood, and actor george clooney hosted a fundraiser for her. the ticket price, juan, i don't know if you could afford it, i can't -- maybe you could, i don't know, $353,000 per couple. take a listen to what george clooney had to say about, well, his own fundraiser. >> reporter: do you look at how much is being raised, and i think the co-host of the friday night dinner, $353,000 a couple, to be a co-chair, do you look at it yourself and think that's an obscene amount of money? >> yes, i think it's an obscene amount of money. i think -- we had protesters last night when we pulled up in san francisco. and they're right to protest. they're absolutely right. it is an obscene amount of money. the sanders campaign, when they talk about it, is absolutely right. it's ridiculous to have this kind of money in politics, i agree. >> it self-loathing left, why? >> this is the other side of the bill clinton thing we were talking about. clooney is raising money at an absurd amount. who could afford it? okay. at the same time, it plays into the income inequality argument that has so powered bernie sanders' campaign. if there's one message to bernie sanders, it's income inequality, wall street, too big to fail, we need to break up the bank. okay. here comes clooney, and what does he do, but he represent big money. it's hollywood money, but big money. being money put in to hillary clinton. the money going to bernie sanders, by the way, which exceeds hillary clinton's fund-raising totals, is coming from smaller donors. it is so impressive. and yet here we have clooney offering evidence of the financial establishment in the dunn country backing hillary clinton. that's why you see him having to apologize for such an extreme amount -- i should say high rate of contributions, fundraiser under:'s direction. >> would the founding fathers be turning in their graves if they knew the amount of money? you addressed the connection to modern politics in your book, "we the people," to the founding fathers. tell us about your book and the connections between these modern leaders to the founding fathers. >> this is fantastic. you know, imagine the founding fathers come back, you know, sunday morning, they come back, they show up, you know, alexander hamilton, george washington, thomas jefferson, and you tell them about this clooney fundraiser, they would be like, oh, my god. that's american politics? they -- they had no clue, right, no idea that it could reach such an absurd level. so much could be stunning. anna's sitting there, like, a woman as a leading personality, educated, thoughtful. there were no women at the constitutional convention. no woman signed the declaration of independence. there's so much. even like going outside your offices on 6th avenue and seeing cameras on the lamppost, you guys are under constant surveillance. no, just red light runners for crime. they would say, the government is watching. no, don't take it that way. there's so many ways that the founding fathers would be surprised. i think they'd also be thrilled and of course rock stars. we love them so much. they'd be like, you know, thrilled that the constitution has endured where 240 years later we live under the constitution, and everybody who becomes president, when it's democrat or republican, takes a pledge to enforce the law. >> some of the figures you write about in the book, president reagan, thurgood marshall, martin luther king jr., first lady, eleanor roosevelt, and others. in the new book, "we the people: drawing connection between their leadership and the past." great to see you on a saturday. >> thanks, juan. >> thank you. a pleasure. i'm going to let clayton know that it's sunday, just so he knows. >> good. >> that's why juan wasn't here on a saturday. we'll get clayton squared away. coming up -- >> yeah -- >> the president is letting all the prisoners out. nine more terrorists released. so who are these guys, and -- a man who knows them will join us next and fill us in. use dulcolax tablets for gentle overnight relief suppositories for relief in minutes and stool softeners for comfortable relief of hard stools. dulcolax, designed for dependable relief well this a predicament. homestyle sounds good. but country style, not without it's charms. brown sugar hickory. who says no to hickory?

j.d. gordon, former pentagon spokesman, and retired navy commander joins us. thanks. >> great to see you. >> i wish it was on better terms. tell me about these nine. why these nine, and why now? >> these nine are committed terrorists and are from saudi arabia. these nine have somebody lobbying for them to get out. in this case, the saudis have been lobbying for them to get out. they have ties to saudi arabia. paracha is a 68-year-old pakistani. the pakistanis don't want him. he doesn't have high-powered lobbyists trying to get him out. >> fill us in about the nine. why are they -- they're not at guantanamo bay because they're nice guys. why are they there, what did they do, and after that, what kind of oversight is saudi arabia going once we send them there? >> these guys were in afghanistan, these guys were bin laden bodyguards. they were captured when the taliban fell, it put them at guantanamo. i think some will go back to the battlefield. you know, as you know, about one in three detainees who leave guantanamo return to terrorism. statistically speaking, some of these guys could be on the battlefield. the saudis have a reintegration program, they find them wives and give them art classes. the saudis say they'll keep these guys under control. but we've seen other guys from this rehelpati -- rehabilitatio program go back to terror. >> wives, art programs, maybe works for some. what kind of confinement? how long do we think the saudis will hold them? so many we're told go back to the host governments. but then a year later, two years later, suddenly they're out in libya with isis. what assurances do we have? >> we don't have any really. i think you're right, in a couple of years we'll see these guys go back to terrorism. i think there's -- there's a very important point i want to point about what the white house says and what's actually going on. the white house says they want to close guantanamo because expensive, which is -- you've been a guantanamo guard. the guard force is still about 2,000 people. that's a lot of personnel cost. the white house also says it's the key recruiting tool for terrorists. even politifact, left wing, says that's false because jihadist literature barely mentions guantanamo. here's what's going. on i think that president obama think you can have the olive branches of terrorists and dictators, they'll leave us alone. i think they see it as surrender, they'll come after us more. president obama was just down in cuba. he posed for that photo op in front of a mural of chay guevara. i see a murderer. they see him as a hero for standing up to imperialism and colonialism. i think president clinton and the left think of these gitmo detainees as chay guevaras. >> they haven't seen the incredible facility and what our guards are doing there. thank you very much for joining us. >> great to see you. coming up, one woman's battle with cancer. now making a difference for patients across the country. the inspiring story and its connection to one of our own. you'll want to see this. stick around. drums beating) fight heartburn fast. with tums chewy delights. the mouthwatering soft chew that goes to work in seconds to conquer heartburn fast. tum tum tum tum. chewy delights. only from tums. the citi double cash® card. it's a cash back win-win. with 1% when you buy and 1% as you pay. with two ways to earn on purchases, it makes a lot of other cards seem one-sided. you stay up. you listen. you laugh. you worry. you do whatever it takes to take care of your family. and when it's time to plan for your family's future, we're here for you. we're legalzoom, and for over 10 years we've helped families just like yours with wills and living trusts. so when you're ready, start with us. doing the right thing has never been easier. legalzoom. legal help is here. good morning, friends. 24 after the hour. during her battle with ovarian cancer, tv personality dean brown created a program to help hospital patients through recovery. after losing her battle, her legacy lives as the program continue to change lives. >> joining us now, her sister, fox news' megan brown. nice to see you. >> thank you very much for having me. >> tell us about this. we were talking before. before we got on the air here, how important this is for communities to try come together. it's like the wild west. you don't know where to go for emotional support, how to raise money. what does my gift to? >> it's a one-stop-shop website. when people get diagnosed, they don't know where to turn. they send out -- people send messages, what can i do, how can i help, how are you feeling? they feel awkward to say, this is what i do need. i need emotional support, i need physical support. somebody to take me to the doctor, to sit with me during chemo. obviously there's the financial aspect of things. my gift takes the awkwardness out of asking. and you just essentially, you go, make yourself a page, you can write your diagnosis down. you set up your own calendar. you put in your doctor's appointment and what -- different dates that you'll have needs. >> tell us how you got -- obviously your sister, diem, started this, thought of this. what does d she experience that led her to believe we've got to do this for those battling cancer? >> she was originally diagnosed when she was 24 years old. most 24-year-olds are getting married, some are having babies. diem was getting, this is my wedding registry, this is my baby registry. she's like, i actually have needs, too. but -- she felt awkward asking. she was like, what if there's a medical registry. what if i -- she really wanted a real hair wig. they're very expensive. she was sitting alone in the hospital and had thousands of dollars worth of flowers sitting around her. and she wanted to turn those flowers into, you know, a cane. she wanted to turn those flowers into paying for her prescriptions. and so she was like, i can creates something that will help patients and honestly caregivers. i noticed with my gift, being diem's caregiver for almost a decade, that i -- i had trouble asking for help. when i had to go to work, i needed somebody to sit with her, to take her to the bathroom, to -- simple needs. and a lot of times patients and caregivers feel very isolated. >> what are you hearing from other families about my gift? >> we've had such a tremendous response, and for people who have -- one place to go. they don't have to kind of, you know, we need money here, this is what i'm going to blog about my experience. they go to my gift, and they can do everything. people know to join their support team. they get involved right away, right after the diagnosis, the crises. it's not just cancer. it's not just disease. it's a car accident. it's elderly parents. and it takes like the awkwardness out of asking for help. that's the hardest thing. it's not, you know, one week issue. it -- it goes on for years, people need assistance. >> being an employee at fox, we're so proud of you. tell us, we know this has been so hard for you being her caregiver, watching her go through all of it. to have her legacy live on like this, what's that like for you? >> it's amazing. diem was the face, diem was the tv person, i am behind the scenes -- >> you do quite well. >> as you know, i'm definitely behind-the-scenes person. but she was so passionate about my gift. this was her -- from day one, age 24 to when she passed in 2014, my gift was her passion. she recognized the need, she created it. and it means the world to my family and i to push it forward. and i know it's going to help so many people. it's free -- >> medgift.com. >> anybody who needs help, caregivers who want to support, it's free, easy, and it honestly changes lives. that means -- that's diem's legacy and means the world to us. >> amazing. >> thank you. >> nice to see you. >> appreciate it. well, coming up here on the show, one of nancy pelosi's friends in big trouble this morning. and "saturday night live" like you've never seen with a "seinfeld" reunion. >> how exactly are you going to break up the big bank?

>> a good question. i would say always file taxes. there are some people who don't necessarily have to. it depends on your age and income. find this on the irs website. as a reference point, if you're under 65 and single up and earn less than $10,300, you do not have to file taxes. married, filing jointly, $20,600. check and make sure. >> don't just not file -- >> it's better to file. >> in an e-mail, jim says, this is my first year itemizing my taxes. i received my return and forgot to add in my medical expenses. is there any way to update my taxes so -- as it pertains to my refund? >> so if you've already filed your taxes, this is an easy check, you need to pull out your return, look for your adjusted gross income, your agi, and if your medical expenses exceeded 10% of that amount, you can deduct them. if that is the case, you can file an amended return. it's called a 1040x. it's -- a two-page sheet of paper. it's than complicated. worth doing if you're going to save money. >> good question, good answer. here's another one, this one from bobby, an e-mail, who can -- and what are -- the qualifications for filing exempt? if you file that exempt status? >> so this is going to be the same deal with whether or not you have to file a return. if you didn't earn enough money to justify filing it again, if you're single, under 65, $10,300, $20,600 if you're married, filing jointly, under 65. it's worth it to go ahead and file. don't worry about filing exempt. hopefully you're going to make more money than that. >> sure. and i've got to ask, why is the irs going soft and giving everybody until monday to get their taxes in when 15th is a friday? >> so nice. >> right, it's interesting actually. most people file their returns on a sunday. friday is the least likely day. we're kind of lucky that we had the extra day. it was a hall, called emancipation day in d.c. >> lauren is going to be here all morning long -- i of going to say manning the computer, but womaning the computer. so please, go to our ffweekend facebook page. ask the questions in the comment thread. you can tweet them and e-mail, friends@foxnews.com. lauren has been kind enough stick around for the next two hours to answer them. thank you. >> my pleasure. >> rick?

>> while everyone stresses out about taxes, go find a dog if you're doing your taxes, hold them, hug them, love them. you want to take the dog? oh, i'm keeping mine? >> we are following headlines. i need to get right to that fox news alert. because there's another deadly earthquake. this one on ecuador's northwestern coast. the 7.8 magnitude quake crumbling homes and businesses and buckling a major overpass. at least 77 people dead and hundreds more hurt. landslides now making it difficult for crews to get to the hardest hit areas. comes dafr days after two quakes in japan hurt more than 1500 people. heavy rain slowing the search for survivors there. >> another fox news alert, breaking right now. a florence, alabama, police officer, clinging to life after being shot in the face. the suspect dead after committing suicide. police say the suspect fired, hitting the unnamed officer before speeding off. other officers chased the suspect into a church parking lot. that's when the suspect turned the gun on himself. no word on a motive. and the clock is ticking toward a strike. the chicago teachers union said chicago public schools have 30 days to draw up a new contract or else. this after the union rejected a contract recommended negotiator. it would have stopped built-in races and forced 9% of each paycheck into a pension fund. illinois governor bruce rauner says that the district should file bankruptcy. but chicago mayor rahm emanuel said that's not an option. and st. jude children's research hospital hope and heritage gala honoring the founder in new york city over the weekend, and i was at the event where they raised money for the children's hospital and celebrated his lebanese heritage. his mission was to end pediatric cancer and make sure kids at st. jude's never pay for travel, housing, or food. research is done at their memphis hospital and is used around the world. those are your headlines. >> all right, well, colorado has been socked by a record level snowfall. and it is april 17th. >> and that wicked weather also expected to bear down on the great plains. >> rick, as always, joins us now with the latest and the details. >> if you have severe weather, this might help. hey, guys. there's a lot going on weather wise. we have that snow, we have severe weather, and take a look at the map to show you what's going on. the snow still falling in parts of colorado, moving to the north, into wyoming and western parts of south dakota. but to the east is all rain. we'll continue to see the rain and threat for severe weather whether you see the yellow bull's eye, in texas, down towards the southeastern coast. we'll watch a threat for more severe weather, more tornadoes, certainly see large hail. tomorrow, another day of it around hill country and then it lightens up. tuesday, you notice there still is more rain. that means the flooding threat is going to continue. take a look at the temperatures. solidly spring, looking like summer for a lot of this week across the eastern half of the country. that's good news. puppy news. >> turning now to the race for white house. just two days from the new york primary, and underdogs ted cruz and bernie sanders slowly closing the delegate gap. >> cruz sweeping in wyoming last night and sanders getting a majority in colorado. >> garrett has more from washington, d.c. what do you have for us? >> good morning. ted cruz was right at home in the cowboy state, and finished the week on a high note, winning all 14 of wyoming's delegates at the state's convention. in itself, the victory doesn't do much to help him towards winning the nomination. you can see he's still about 185 delegates behind donald trump. but right now, every delegate matters, and every win helps with momentum. >> you've got the entire spectrum of the republican party coming together and uniting. >> after this weekend when he gets wiped out in new york, which he will, he gets wiped out. he no longer has a road to the nomination. >> on the democratic side, bernie sanders just scored another win in colorado. he first won there back on super tuesday, but yesterday at the state's democratic convention, he picked up an additional three delegates which were previously awarded to hillary clinton, making the final tally in the sentenial state 41 for sanders and 25 for clinton. overall, he's still more than 200 delegates behind clinton. close to 800 when you include superdelegates. the upcoming primaries across the northeast, particularly in new york on tuesday, could be huge for the underdogs in both parties. >> thanks so much. live for us in d.c. this morning. >> is bill clinton becomes a liability for hillary clinton? you recall, al gore was criticized for not using bill clinton enough on the campaign trail. too little too late. then he lost the election, lost his home state of tennessee. but bill clinton is known to go off the rails sometimes, including the other day when he made these comments about bernie sanders supporters. listen. >> one of the few things i really haven't enjoyed about this primary, i think it's fine that all these youngsters have been so enthusiastic for her opponent, and that's good. just shoot every third person on wall street and that would be fine. >> do you want to clarify that comment? >> a joke. it was a total joke. if we have to point out that's a unilateral explanation for everything wrong with america. >> shoot every third person? >> what is at issue here is that bernie sanders has these super young supporters and hillary clinton has a problem with that demographic. and democrats are going, you know, she needs to be careful, especially in a general election situation if she's the nominee and alienated these voters. huan williams was on the program earlier today and said just that. >> they've got to be very careful not to turn off the young voters. remember, anna, a third of sanders supporters say they could not support hillary clinton. so if bernie or bust for them. if she's the nominee going forward against whoever the republican might be, she's gg to need to reassemble the coalition of young people, minorities, women, who elected barack obama. if she can't get the young people who feel so passionedly about bernie sanders, she's in big trouble because she's losing a key element of the coalition. >> so much talk about unity on the republican side. hillary clinton has been increasingly dismissive as well. eventually, she's going to need the young people. >> a weakness for her in the general election. look at bernie sanders right now. coachella is coming up, and they're honoring him for two ho whole days with, i don't know if it's called berniechella or sanders' chella. >> this story, because guantanamo bay, the obama administration has been slowly trying to close down guantanamo bay, now it's down to 80 prisoners remaining because they just released nine new guantanamo bay detainees. look at the rap sheets for three of the worst offenders who are considered high risk and will probably go back to the battlefield. >> they all have tied to osama bin laden, they're from yemen and have tied to saudi arabia as well. he used to be a guard at guantanamo bay, and one thing that the president says is a reason he thinks that guantanamo bay needs to be closed is it's a recruitment tool for the terrorist organizations. is it ever mentioned in the jihadi writings? >> first, that's not true. it's nowhere to be found in terrorist propaganda these days. if anything, if we closed it, it would be front page news of islamist propaganda. it's not what they're talking about, not what motivates them. they want it shut down because they want their jihadists back. >> the recidivism rate is 1 in 3. >> there were 650 of them in 2004. now there are 80. the ones that are still there are the hard core of the hard core. these guys are more than likely to go back to the battlefield. >> we had people who wrote in on facebook. candy wrote this, we heard stories about political correctness affecting how the prisoners are treated. is any of it true? >> i would say it is true. there's a lot of we bend over backwards for religious observance for the it tadetaine. >> george w. bush tried to close down kwan tonmoy bay, and they said they have to go through an actual legal process here. and this question from alexis on facebook said, what is wrong with moving the remaining detainees to a maximum security prison? we already have the most dangerous criminals in the world, including terrorists both domestic and foreign? you invite a whole host of problems. also, the facility at guantanamo bay is better than the ones here stateside. you also don't want to start treating this as a criminal activity. this is a war. we're at war. you bring them stateside, they're also introduced to a whole host of protections. you bring them to our soil, it complicates the situation more. and why would we want jihadists further poisoning the prison system? you don't want this. >> these nine guys weren't charged with anything, and actually raith eight of them since 2010 were on the docket to be released. took six years to get it done. there they are, nine new guys back out there. >> all right, coming up on the program, donald trump isn't the only one outraged over the gop nomination process. the head of the gop rules committee getting on the bandwagon. >> chris wallace here to react next. >> and we have puppies on the plaza. tax day is tomorrow. we're relieving stress with massage chairs, boxing, and a whole lot more. ts longer so kevin jorgeson can power through the night. sfx: duracell slamtones legalzoom has your back. for your business, our trusted network of attorneys has provided guidance to over 100,000 people just like you. visit legalzoom today. the legal help you can count on. legalzoom. legal help is here. ...one of many pieces in my i havlife.hma... so when my asthma symptoms kept coming back on my long-term control medicine. i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment with breo. once-daily breo prevents asthma symptoms. breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. breo won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. breo opens up airways to help improve breathing for a full 24 hours. breo contains a type of medicine that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. do not take breo more than prescribed. see your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. ask your doctor if 24-hour breo could be a missing piece for you. see if you're eligible for 12 months free at mybreo.com. of delegates. and yet, i tell you, the system is rigged. because they don't want me to be there because i understand and, you know, i just understand how it works, and they don't like that i understand. they don't like that i don't want their money and it bothers them because they won't have influence and we can do what's right for the american people. >> donald trump not the only one outraged ahead of the gop rules committee, now accusing gop officials of, quote, breaching their trust for not disclosing potential changes to the convention rules. here to react, chris wallace. good morning. thanks for being with this loo? >> well, try to figure that out and explain it in three minutes. but basically, every convention is governed by rules. there's going to be a meeting of the rules committee in florida this coming week. and some of the rules committee members are arguing about whether they should change the rules or not change the rules now. one of the reasons that the rnc doesn't want to do that right now is because of the fact fat there's going to be a whole meeting of the full rules committee, a number of the members haven't been chosen yet because the primary process isn't done. the week before the convention in cleveland. and that's where they will approve the final rules. then, those will have to be voted on by the convention when they actually open that in mid-july. so there's going to be back and forth about the rules. the reason this is so important is generally speaking it's simple. somebody goes in with a majority, 1237, and that's where things stand. this time, because they may not be at 1237, donald trump or anybody else, or they might be close, the rules are going to be very important. one of the big issues is going to be, can somebody who didn't even run be nominated by the convention? that's one of the big issues that's going to be argued about from now right through july. >> james garfield style. what about donald trump's argument, chris, that he's made on our show yesterday, that this whole process is rigged? and he says, look, despite it being rigged, i'm still winning. and that i'm ahead by millions of votes over ted cruz. and he's out there trying to grab these delegates in these meetings. he's been doing so since the fall. that's why he says it's rigged. do you buy that argument? will it fly? >> no. it may fly, but i don't buy it. let me explain the difference. these rules have been set up since last year. it's not like they changed them in the darkness of a smoke-filled room last week. in colorado. in wyoming. and cruz knew the rules, worked the rules, and has won by the rules. trump, it's really on his campaign, the fact that they either didn't know or weren't paying attention to the rules and they have definitely gotten beat. now, may it fly? it doesn't sound good that you didn't in the case of these two states, he didn't have a state-wide caucus, didn't have a state-wide primary. it was done the old fashioned way through conventions where only party insiders participated and that doesn't look good that you didn't have a regular popular vote as we understand it. having said it, those were the rules. everybody knew it. cruz played by them, trump seems to ignore them. >> chris, obviously, a huge primary here in new york on tuesday. you have a big show this sunday, as you always do. teeing up that election. who do you have this morning? >> we'll be talking to corey lewandowski, the controversial campaign manager for donald trump. we'll of course be talking about the fact that he got shut out 14 delegates for cruz, zero for trump yesterday. what's going to happen in new york on tuesday. we'll talk about the controversy involving michelle fields, the reporter he grabbed. more importantly, also talking to anthony fauci, the point man for the government on infectious disease about the growing threat of the zika virus as the weather turns warm. >> check your local listings for fox news sunday. chris, great to see you. >> bye, guys. >> coming up, you have to see this one. a school bus driver hailed a hero after her split-second decision to save a boy choking on a crime. >> did you already swallow it?

in your 17 years driving buses for the school, did anything like this happen? >> thank you, clayton. first off, for having me here. and no, i was hoping i would never have to see anything like that, but it did happen. >> wow. what did you think when you heard him screaming or heard his sister screaming in the background? >> at first, i thought he was being a little ornery and wasn't paying attention. i wanted him to be seated so we could go. we just dropped off a high school student and were going to start off again. i was talking to him about sitting down. i thought he wasn't listening. then his sister alerted me he had swallowed the coin. then i just jumped into action and did what we had to do. >> you parked the bus first, jump up. were you trained in this type of maneuver or something you know from childhood? >> no, actually, i have been trained. i went and got my cpr card and first aid card and everything when my daughter was about 5 and my eldest son was a baby. i had them off and on. i say off and on because i have let them lapse a few times, the cards. i try to always get them renewed and i had a premature granddaughter and we couldn't take her home from the hospital until we knew the techniques and then of course because of my job. >> cameron has teased you before, right? did you think he was crying wolf here? >> i did at first. that's what, you know, mom and grandpa both, they understood whenever i told them that. i talked to the grandfather right after it happened. he seen the bus was pulled over and there was something wrong. i explained to him what had happened. i don't think he understood himself at the time what it was that actually happened until the next morning. then he thanked me and was so appreciative. he and the student both. >> choking on this penny. the heimlich maneuver removed it. what did you say after it came out? >> i got onto him and said don't you ever, ever do anything like this again. of course, i had to give him a big hug because i was thanking god he was okay. it was god working through me to get that done, to get the coin out. >> you're a hero. people calling you a hero. you don't like that term. >> well, i feel like i don't -- i don't know. i'm not a hero. it was god. you can tell when you watch the video that there's a peacefulness about it, and i could not believe how calm i seemed on the video because i didn't feel calm when it was actually happening. >> you're a hero and we want to thank you for joining us. an amazing story, and ginger, and coming up later, we're going to talk about this because choking is the fourth leading cause of death in children under the age of 5. that's coming up. plus, this. college students trying to shut down pro-trump supporters on campus, destroying border displaces like this because they disagree. one school president is fighting for free speech. what he's doing, next. >> first, blowing off steam ahead of tax day. tax day is tomorrow. we've got puppyies, which reliee stress. we have karaoke, you have boxing, and we're also answering your tax questions. go to sf weekend on facebook to weigh in.

>> well, it depends how you look at it. donald trump does have a point. he's been slamming the rnc recently over the contests that don't require a binding presumary in terms of delegates selected to represent that state. it's politically convenient for him to be saying this right now. it is energizing some of his supporters. we have seen supporters in colorado, for example. and it maybe most importantly is distracting from the top story that trump may not know the rules, and he's getting swept by senator ted cruz. but, this message is a little contradictory because if you have been paying attention to the race, donald trump has been benefitting from delegate rules in the majority of the state contests. he won 30 some percent of the vote in south carolina, same with florida. he's taking all the delegates. >> right. >> the fact he's complaining now about the rules makes some people think that he's just a cry baby. >> his supporters are so loyal, and he just issued that op-ed in the "wall street journal," and he kind of shifted the narrative, didn't he? before he was saying the rnc was out to get him and it's rigged against him. now he's saying it's rigged against the american people. it's making them feel empathy for him. >> it's a smart message for him to be delivering, particularly because it's distracting from the woes of his campaign. and he's hiring people acknowledging that this is a problem, but the message resonates. we have seen a lot of his supporters come out and protest and it's waking people up to the fact that the rules are different in different states. he's slamming the rnc in actuality. his issues have more to do with the state rules. >> a lot of talk about the process and what it's going to be like if there's a contested convention. this morning, the associated press crunched the numbers and claim there's only one viable way for trump to clinch the nomination. trump would have to win every state seen here in green, including delegates gold mines like new york and california. he could afford to lose the states in green and still reach the minimum number of delegates. according to the a.p., he can't lose any of those states. >> this is interesting. at this point, everyone is crunching math. everyone is tryish to be a delegate nerd because it really does come down to a couple votes, i mean, a couple delegates in this delegate-rich states. he has to win new york. he looks very poised to do that. moving past tuesday, we've got some big northeastern contests coming up. new jersey was highlighted on that map as well, that the northeastern gold mine that comes up later in june. he does have a path to reach the majority. he has to thread a very thin needle. i liken it to hiking a 14 r in the middle of the night. it's going to be treacherous and tricky, but he could do it. he's going to need california, new york, new jersey, pennsylvania will be very interesting. because it has a different delegate system as well. it's not exactly the same as colorado and wyoming, but we could be seeing more trump complaints after pennsylvania. >> okay, shelby, thank you so much. >> thank you for having me. >> all right, 48 minutes after the hour. just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, it just did. the disgrace of the veterans affairs department continues and up next, a whistleblower will share brand-new information that proves the agency is fudging the numbers. >> what does george clooney think about the expensive fund-raiser he just threw for hillary clinton?

>> oh, absolutely. it the getgo, we've said -- and they wanted to focus on secret wait that's just one tool that was being used to manipulate numbers and data. i mean, there's still -- they're messing with the desire date times. and there's other ways that you can manipulate the data and stuff through the vista system of scheduling. >> tell us about that. you say specialty clinics, sleep clinics, things like that. they're finding ways to make it look like wait times are shorter than they are. what are some of the things that v.a. is doing? >> right. well, you know, when it first came out, they wanted to focus on the wait list, then the word secret. then, you know the system -- the vista scheduling system is an older system, and there's flaws in it. you can go in and can still maneuver desired dates to actually set up where it doesn't show those wait times. you know, in a lot of times now, we're hearing across the country that supervisors are again telling the schedulers to go in and mess around with those desired dates to make them look like the veterans aren't waiting. there's different ways. you can set up clinics, the v.a. system is different from what most people understand. and there's ways you can go in with different clinics. and they can set up a clinic and say, hey, we want you to come if for an educational appointment in 21 days. and you'll go in, and they'll have 50, 60 veterans in there. they'll talk to you a little about about 15, 30 minutes. and then you are considered being seen within 30 days. after that, they'll turn around and make you an appointment again for another, you know, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 days out. the number, you know -- they're showing that -- number numbers that come from the v.a., you need to be skeptical. >> that's a fact. government-run health care, you get a bureaucracy delivering you a bunch of options in different ways, unfortunately that the bureaucracy manipulates it. you're a whistleblower. we've -- this is blown up by whistleblowers. how are whistleblowers being treated at the v.a. today? >> you know, it's -- it's not any better. i will tell you that. whistleblowers are still scared to come forward. they'll pull me aside and say thank you for doing what you did. they do that with whistleblowers all over the country. you're still harassed. some of the downright retaliation still continues, but some of it, you know, the v.a. leaders are very smart in how they maneuver around the rules and regulations and things. >> shea -- >> you know, they'll still harass you. the downright, straightforward retaliation still occurs, but not as much as it was. but there is a lot of harassment. >> thank you -- thank you for your courage. and it is -- it's disheartening for so many of us to hear that the culture at v.a. has not changed, but the fight continues. and shea, as a whistleblower yourself, thanks for what you do in exposing v.a.'s corruption. appreciate it. >> you're welcome. thanks for having me. >> you got it. donald trump has a unique way of referencing his opponents. >> it's not for little marco, and it's not for lying ted, okay?

[ applause ] >> and what does that mean? that means that i'm not controlled by the special interests, by the lobbyists, and they control -- they control crooked hillary, and they control lying ted cruz, right? they control lying ted. >> you know, so many nicknames, and he's been so effective with it. i've been honestly waiting to see how he would label hillary clinton. between benghazi and private servers and the clinton foundation, hey, the word crooked fits the bill -- >> wouldn't be surprised if he comes out with even more. he does have a way of exposing whatever weakness a candidate has. with governor jeb bush, it was low energy. anyway, it gets in his supporters' minds, and they say it over and over with him. >> branding. >> it catches fire. >> it's tied to -- the reason he's doing this is because of her associations with wall street. >> that's what i was going to say. >> and whether or not releasing the transcripts from her big speeches to goldman sachs and others. she's not releasing the transcripts even though bernie sanders has been calling for it. and yet, she was out over the weekend at george clooney's big fundraiser where to get into the fundraiser, you had to spend $343,000 per couple to get in. if you were a couple, you could bring a plus-one. >> good. glad to know -- >> $353,000. >> 53. >> there's diamonds and gold encrusted on your salmon or the chicken, whatever you had there. so george clooney was actually on "meet the press" with chuck tod todd and asked about the money and politics, is it being poisoned by the big money. and he actually kind of said, well, yeah. listen. >> do you look at how much is being raised, and i think the co-host of the dinner, $353,000 a couple, to be a co-chair, do you look at it yourself and say that's an obscene amount of money? >> yes. i think it's an obscene amount of money. i think that -- we had protesters last night when we pulled up in san francisco. and they were right to protest. they're absolutely right. it is an obscene amount of money. the sanders campaign when they talk about it is absolutely right. it's ridiculous that we should have this kind of money in politics. i agree. >> amazing self-awareness. >> george:y in short, i am the -- george clooney in short, a. the problem. the self-loathing that goes into this. i think a lot of it's de facto support for hillary clinton. he's doing it because he feels obligated. and it feeds to the narrative of bernie sanders. $353,000 for a ticket. it makes it look like she's bought and paid for. >> money doesn't necessarily buy victory. we saw what happened with mitt romney and the amount of money. we saw jeb bush and the establishment upset about the millions and millions they think they wasted on a jeb bush candidacy. so you know, look at that. so george clooney writes this on facebook, mary says, "he wants all the liberal policies in effect and then takes off to little in italy where his money is safe and sound." >> and maureen says, "hollywood is well known as hypocrite heaven for this reason. those who reach fame and fortune forget real-world reality." >> roosevelt bridger tweeted, "george clooney is so far left, his right hand doesn't work. big bucks for a dinner and then complains about big money, really?" >> in all the head-to-head matchups with hillary clinton, donald trump has not done so well in the head-to-head matchups. he's said, i haven't even started on hillary clinton yet. maybe he's -- this is him starting with his new nickname, crooked hillary clinton. >> if he's already seeing past new york and think that ted cruz is done after the new york primary, what he thinks is the case, maybe is lining up -- we're seeing the reorganization and campaign, as well. >> exactly. i think targeting hillary clinton is -- has a unifying effect. republicans are squabbling amongst themselves now. if you remind yourself that ultimately they need to be prepared to fight against hale or bernie sanders, if you start to build that narrative and point out the flaws, i think everyone on the republican side can agree on that. >> she can be the great unifier. hillary clinton can be the great unifier, just the opposition to her. >> do you like donald trump's new nickname for hillary clinton, or do you think it's over the line?

>> well, it's straightforward. all the terrorist movement we see now from al qaeda to al nusra to islamic state all come from the joabi cult spawned in the 18th century, a newcomer to islam. it's the most extreme and inherently violent form of islam, of institutional islam. so the saudis have been allowed to push this. because they've successfully bought their way into the united states making individuals and corporations rich, buying their way into think tank, they've gotten away literally with murder. our federal government refuses to release the 28 missing page from the 9/11 report that implicates the saudis, some saudis, in 9/11. most importantly, here's the bottom line -- we allow the saudis to fund hate speech and hate mosques. some estimates are up to 80% of american mosques get some funding and support from saudi arabia. they are pushing most radical form of islam, jihadi islam, on mainstream american muslims. we tolerate it. and think about this contradiction -- we allow the udderly intolerant and bigoted usda toes have fanaticism here and fund -- there aren't any chapels in saudi arabia, but shouldn't we have a rule that foreign entities and governments and individuals who do not practice religious tolerance shouldn't be able to fund hate speech here? >> colonel, you have a powerful article in the "new york post" that outlines all of this and lays out what the saudi arabian government has done, undermining so much of what the american government has fought for for over 15 years. what's the internal policy in what do we do if we were to call out saudi arabia? what are the implications of that? >> the wonderful thing is the saudis just tried to call us out. the saudis have called us out say figure you don't give us our way, if you allows american 9/11 survivors to sue, we'll divest ourselves of all our american assets and cost the american economy. it would be a bump in the american economy. it would devastate saudi arabia, and oh, by the way, maybe at last we could stop our military and diplomatic support of the bigoted monarchy -- the usdaies are barbarians with credit cards. looking down the road, i think we have a better chance in the long term of a rapprochement with iran than we do of seeing reform in saudi arabia. again, the iranians are a problem now. we may wind up in a war with them. the usdaies are funding subversion -- saudis are funding subversion in the united states. and the victims are american muslims who are bullied in their neighborhoods by the saudi-funded mosques. by the way, i've seen the saudis in country after country. i've seen them on the ground. so i'm not talking think tank theory. and the saudi goal everywhere is to prevent muslims from integrating into the general societies. they don't want american muslims to become good americans. even -- i've seen them pay poor families to take their kids out of the state schools where they'd learn a skill and put them where they don't learn anything. the saudis don't care about the fate and well being of individual muslim. they care about islam and the abstra abstract. by the way, how many, how many refugees from syria and iraq have the saudis taken? less than 100 at last count. >> i know, if your piece, too, you talk about they would be building schools and hospital if they wanted to help the muslim community in your words. the saudis issuing economic threat. there's a warning from the saudis to the united states to drop any investigation into the kingdom's role in the september 11 attacks or pay the price. josh earnest was asked and here's what he says -- >> i can't tell you whether or not the president has read these 28 pages. i can tell you that the office of the director of national intelligence is doing a reclassification and review of pages. and the president certainly has confidence in the ability of the national security professionals to consider the documents for release. >> so the president hasn't seen it, is that right? >> i doubt that it's right, but it's obscene, obscene, and not just the obama administration but the george w. bush administration, too. they are protecting the saudis at the expense of the american people. they put the happy not of the saudi royal family above the survivors of nevin. it is an incredible thing. again, we have allowed the saudis to buy so much influence in this country, that's another deep obscenity. where are the politicians with integrity to stand up for americans and say, hey, saudi, game over. >> well, colonel, hopefully the american energy renaissance can extricate us in ways from this relationship. a powerful piece. thanks for joining us, as always, very articulate, colonel. >> thank you. >> thank you very much. 20 minutes after the hour. ahead on "fox & friends" weekend, one of nancy pelosi's friends in big trouble this morning. major drama about to unfold inside the democratic party. you don't want to miss it. plus, we showed you this remarkable story last hour. a bus driver jumping into action to save a choking young boy.

>> 100%. >> he pulls the bus over safely and calmly. the sister is screaming. >> yes. not sure what's going on yet. but here it comes. he -- sort of gives the international sign of choking, he's putting his hands near his neck, she recognizes it. goes over, pulls him out of the way and delivers the heimlich. calm and quick action is the key. >> wow. >> how do we know if they're really choking? >> there's a few simple steps. first off, the international sign of choking is this -- anybody in the world wherever you go, if they're doing this, you know they're choking. also if the person is unable to breathe or looks like they are in distress, if their face is red or blue, you need act quickly because they're choking. >> interesting. there's a difference between, this is -- you've got a full age, show us the technique on an adult. show us what the proper technique is. what is it supposed to be? how do you do it? >> great. four steps. first, identify if the person is choking. step two, remain calm. if you're freaking out, everybody's going to freak out, and then you have bigger problems on your hand. three, anybody over the age of 1 is the same method. i'm going to stand up -- >> over 1? >> over the age of 1. >> over the age of 1 is the same method. >> same method, over the age of 1. i'm going to stand because it's easier to stand up. what you do is you get behind anybody over the age of 1. you can stand or kneel. and then what you do is you're going to take your fist with your thumb out, place it above their belly button. grab your other hand, and you place it over your fist like this. all right?

have thrown their hats into the ring. chuck schumer and bernie sanders have thrown support behind ellison. we have idea to hear of hispanic or lateen owes signal their interest for the job. bottom line, the party was not prepared for any of this at all. they need a game plan and need one fast. joining me now is likely going to be one of the people. it's congressman javier basera from the house democratic caucus. great to see you. >> great to be with you. >> let me start with the protests of the streets. is this -- plenty of democratic leaders said understand the protest, but don't do the violence. is this the time to protest or not? what is your message to the protesters? >> civic participation and restrictions for those who try to manipulate currency to get an advantage against the u.s.? >> those are things if he works on it, you want to work with him? >> we were talking about it way before donald trump. he will find democratic support in that direction, but if he wants to tell an immigrant family you can't stay in this country and tell a judge because of his heritage that he can't be a good judge, he will have someone fighting against him. >> i want to read you something harry reid wrote. it's tough. the election of donald trump is emboldened the forces of bigotry and hate. watching white nationalistings celebrate and others cry tears of fear does not feel like america. a sexual predator who lost the pop lawyer vote and fuelled his campaign with bigotry and hate. harsh words in there. i know many democrats believe everything that he said in there and she feeding that passion. heritage, you can't be a good judge. we have to be ready to stand up. that anxiety that was expressed in this vote is where we have to as democrats convey to the families, got your back. >> it looks like there is a rush to endorse keith ellison. those are three pretty powerful names to get behind. it's almost a coronation. is it? so did the others have you heard. i don't think we are going to stop. they voted for democrats and made it clear. we look like the rest of america. the party will reflect that very well. >> there is a danger. it turns out for all america. what do you say to that. >> we have their back as well. we have to prove to them. >> donald trump follows through and makes sure that jobs are coming back from joefr seas. we have been talking about that for a long time. i would love to hear how he was going to look to do that, but they fought laws that made sure we can keep jobs in america. we worked to make sure that rural america has the support it needs making sure we have affordable health care and not getting rid of something they benefitted from. >> president-elect trump was asked about obamacare and talked upkeeping preexisting conditions and keeping kids on health care. does that make you feel a little better? >> it makes it clear that what he said as candidate he can no longer say as president-elect. >> there are great candidates out there right now. >> that's not a no. >> i am not looking to run. >> for recruited? >> that was the asked that was asked about vice presidency. >> california governor. that's closer to no. thanks for coming in. >> certainly no shortage of ideas in the democratic party and how to right the ship. here's howard dean making his pitch to run the dnc earlier today on msnbc with my colleague. >> we have a lot of work to do in the democratic party. my plan is to reach out to young people. they are devastated by the loss and now understands that politics matters. i like keith ellison a lot. he's a good guy. you cannot do this job and sit in a political office at the same time. it's not possible. we have seen what happens. debbie wassermann schultz was not the only one to do this. this is more than a full time job and we have to rebuild of what has been a tragedy for the democratic party, but perhaps for the country. we don't know. this is a big rebuilding job and i like keith. i would be happy to help and support him, but not if he is going to sit in congress. a large number of dnc members believe that. >> there you go. let's bring in the panel. the former chairman, michael steel. "washington post" fix boss and political analyst and "the washington post" deputy ruth marcus. hello all. michael steel, you run for a chairmanship before. you know what it's like. it's not one on cable. explain how you win. >> it is on tarmacs and in board rooms and barns. wherever you find your committee men and women. you have to go to them. we rented a plane and erp on commercial flights. to run for chairman is at least a 50 to $60,000 proposition. you have to raise money for it and get the grass roots and knock on doors and call people. >> it's small for voters. >> here's the thing. 168 for the republicans and four times that. >> what a surprise. >> it seems like the field will get big in a hurry. >> that's right. >> i heard about it. >> you heard them say there are other good people if you run. he could be one of them. >> you heard his name, a younger up and coming star in the democratic party as well. martin o'malley has thrown his name in the ring. we will see more. >> it's an interesting thing because this always happens when you lose an election and particularly when you think you will win as a party. there are several camps that diagnose what you need to do differently. this is the smartest political person not in the white house. progressive. a person of color. it's an interesting argument because you look at where they lost. maybe you say those states are gone in the future, but they lost parts of pennsylvania and they lost parts of michigan and ohio. i could make a strong case for someone like joe biden with that profile. >> i will give you a name. the lone wolf screaming about that. >> he is a grown up and a governor. he is a veteran of this administration. he knows rural america. he has been talking about opioid abuse. he was there to fix the mecha c mechani mechanics. i would argue a lot of people. ed you to be a spokesperson and a mechanic. they wanted you out in public. >> they didn't want that. that's different. they don't know what the committee members want. >> if i could offer up a word of caution. the base is making it clear. i would not assume that because you label a congressman a progressive that that's where progressives in california and florida and progressives elsewhere have their head. they need to be careful because they can do it before it launches. democrat i republican, across the board. they are about the grass roots. they are about something different than what you see in washington. this is a power vacuum that 72 hours ago. no one thought they were going to exist. it's like a black hole. the opportunity that now exists. let's assume obama is on the stage. there is a lot of opportunity there. that's why you will see more people. wait a minute. now is the time. it's so unexpected. >> everybody will have so many other kids to scramble after. this is the only that is left. i had an e-mail from a reader who said please can you get michelle obama to run for it? >> she is not going to do dnc chair. >> as if. >> i want to play for you, i get what you are saying about washington. elizabeth warren is popular with the base. >> people have a right to be angry. angry that wages have been stagnant for a generation. angry that washington eagerly protects the tax breaks for billionaires while it refuses to raise the minimum wage. angry that washington pushes big corporate interests in trade deals. angry that washington tilts the playing field for giant corporations. angry that working people are in debt. >> my producer listened to that and he said sounds like a progressive trump. channel in anger. >> we have been talking throughout the campaign that the thing that hillary clinton has never been able to be and cannot be is a pop lift when that's what people were looking for. that's no secret. i thought donald trump had done and said things image-wise that would make him unsatisfactory as an alternative, but she was not a good fit not only for the democratic primary, but for a general electorate. that is angry. >> the speech is fascinating. she identifies specific areas of potential agreement for president trump. it will be interesting to so how they decided to work with him. >> a programming note, michael moore will join us at 8:00 p.m. eastern on to discuss the country's reaction to the election and to the protest movements. coming up, the one fact that should have told us all along that donald trump would win the election. how did we miss it? all members are formed into common service. >> veterans day often follows a hard fought political campaign. the government you fought for. it often lays buried in disagreements across the nation. the american instinct has never been to find isolation in opposite corners. it is to find strength in the common creed. to forge unity from our great diversity. if something doesn't seem right, so everyone comes home safely. because safety is never being satisfied. and always working to be better. inexperienced and not having the right temperament and some were attacked for both. you know what else? each got the support of blue collar voters, working class voters over candidates with more experience and the deeper resumes. think about it. carey, clinton. my gosh. when folks are living paycheck to paycheck, they want something better than now and they gravitate to something different. it's simple in hindsight and we forget the power of the changed candidate and changed message and inexperience ends up being the asset to those voters. let me bring in the next guest. chris clay is policy editor for dtn's progressive farmer. he is a journalist that covers and lives in rural america. >> you had a powerful analysis of what happened the trump-pence signs or the hillary for prison 2016 signs. there were not a clinton cane signs. explain why hillary clinton was so unpopular in rural america and whether there was anything she could have done about it. >> there were so many factors with hillary. he was unable in iowa to beat president obama in 2008. she barely scratched out a victory over bernie sanders in the caucuses and that was contested. they had resentment or unwillingness to embrace her. she was not able to catch on and communicate with your average rural blue collar worker or farmer. >> what moved the obama voting iowan in some of those farm communities in northeast iowa, traditional democratic area, i can't believe the counties that flipped. why did these obama voters become trump voters? >> in 2012 you had really strong farm economy at that point. farmland prices were really strong. farm commodity prices were good. right now commodity prices have continued to slip. now you are seeing actually the federal reserve start to stress that the farmers are now tight on working cash and they are going to the lenders more. the farmers themselves are much more stressed. the counties that obama won, they had a lot of dairy farmers up there and a lot of very commodity producers and overall they were not as willing to give another chance to a democrat this time around. >> they want to throw you a few questions. >> tell us what attracted. you have given us a wonderful vision of what the concerns were. what was the attraction of donald trump? change in one sense. there was also a belief among some people that he will be able to make changes to these trade agreements. i think that might be tough. we export a lot of commodities under nafta right now. it might be more difficult to actually find markets in mexico and canada that are not already accepting our crops and wheat and dairy products and things like that. but also just the regulatory issues. that was something that a lot of people didn't dmee on. there is a rule under the epa called the waters of the u.s. every farm group in the country. liberal and conservative. they have hammered on the issue. they want to get rid of it. they are terrified of it. if you read the rule, it is mind-numbing what it does. clinton supported it. trump continued to hammer he was going to get rid of the rule from day one. that was a key point. they believe that the regulatory yolk will be lifted off of them and as far as farmers were correspond, that drove them in a big way. >> in addition to the economic narrative, how did the social narrative play out? with the descriptions of the rural america and the talk about deplorables and the language that sort of cropped up in this election, how did that play in effect the thinking of farmers and people, middle class workers in your area? >> it's difficult because honestly a lot of farmers and rural people really gravitate towards conservative media. they were maybe not hearing so much or paying as close attention to trump's rhetoric. there might have been a belief that they didn't take trump literally and took him seriously. it was a phrase i had heard used once. they also heard media that constantly hammered on clinton's trustworthiness. among e van gel kals, there was a strong belief and christianity and faith has been lost in the country. i had the same conversation with a man from my church a few weeks ago and he was really hammering on that point that he did not believe that the democrats put much emphasis on god and christianity any longer. i know that's not the case, but that is a perception. >> chris? >> a lot of the analysis, particularly among democrats and liberal democrats said it was all about race. donald trump appealed to our darker natures, particularly in some of these more rural communities. you offered a more nuanced take about it. can you -- how much of people you talked to in your reporting, how much did race come up if at all. it may not have because people are uncomfortable to talk about it, but is it a factor if not the factor? >> i think immigration issue is a huge factor in rural america. people are concerned they are losing their culture somewhat. they are uncomfortable around seeing increasing minorities in particular areas that don't speak their language. don't go to the same churches they grew up with. those kinds of things. it was a concern, but you take a look at iowa. barack obama won iowa twice. hillary clinton got clobbered in rural iowa. it wasn't that she lost the counties i but by such a wide margin. it couldn't have been race because these upper midwest states supported obama twice and turned away from clinton in droves. >> i have to leave it there. we have about 17 more questions for you. i have a feeling that hopefully you will be a familiar face to our viewers. >> thank you for having me. >> thank you for having me. >> you guys are stuck. >> anyway. >> donald trump's transition team is in transition. a big name is out and a new big name is back in. stay with us. ♪ see ya next year. this season, start a new tradition. experience the power of infiniti now, with leases starting at $319 a month. infiniti. empower the drive. that's it from cnbc first in business worldwide. free, be fr♪ ♪ 'cause there's a million things to be ♪ ♪ you know that there are ♪ and if you want to be me, be me ♪ ♪ and if you want to be you, be you ♪ ♪ 'cause there's a million things to do ♪ ♪ you know that there are ♪ >> in the fast moving world of the transition, chris christie is out and mike pence is in. the transition team does now include three of donald trump's children and his son in law. what may be a related note to staffing at the trump white house, we learned that trump's former campaign manager and still an on again off again personal adviser resigned officially from his job at cnn. the new team includes my next guest, congressman chris collins, the first member of congress to endorse donald trump. welcome back and congratulations. >> chuck, it has been a whirl wind and before we start, i want to thank the veterans today on veterans day for their service to the country and tell you how honored i was to present five gold medals to world war ii tus keegee air men. >> that are is amazing. any day you get to spend with a world war ii veteran, you need to cherish. they have unbelievable stories. let me start with your role. can you explain what your is what what advise you are being asked to give? >> i will be a member on executive council along with donald's kids and ivanka's husband and great other members. it's going to be a job of vetting the candidates for the 4,000 or so positions. 350 in the west wing. we will see when the new executive director, how we divvy that out. none of that has been detailed. we put this together today. when we are back monday in d.c., we will detail more of it out. i'm honored to being asked to serve on this council. >> one of the challenges i feel like you will face is similar to what barack obama faced when he got here. he ran as an outsider and promised that you weren't going to see the same types of people. he didn't use the phrase drain the swamp, but it was implied with turn the page. donald trump used drain the swamp. there are only so many people with the right amount of experience to do these jobs. how to you make sure that you are bringing in people that aren't just coming from the other side and the rules you hope will prevend that oh, geez it's just the republicans and they are in charge and vice-versa? less regulation and getting back to the federal government and doing what it should, but relying on the states and the tenth amendment to do the rest. the division starts with president-elect trump. we get into the cabinet officials and people believe in smaller government and less regulations. that's a mantra that we have. you are going to need institutional knowledge. no question. we just need to make sure that those bringing in the institutional knowledge that served in various roles also understand less regulations. i do believe i will work. you can marry those two, but it starts with a strong division that everyone adheres to. >> i was struck by a comment that trent lott made. he wants to drain the swamp and some of them have to help us navigate his way in and out of the swamp. the point that was lobbyists and the community that are a necessary evil. what's your view on that? we are talking about the folks that are doing the nuts and bolts of keeping our government running. knowing that we have a different vision and we need the skill sets. they will have to understand that it's a smaller government, less regulation and understanding where the federal government starts and stops and state's rights starts and stops. i don't think we need any lobbyists coming in. >> would you propose anybody who has been a registered lobbyist that shouldn't be able to serve in the trump cabinet? >> i never go to extremes like that, but in vetting we have to know where their values are and what the focus is. it ams can back to the vision of smaller government and less regulation and state's rights and clearly what donald trump talked about whether it's n an all of the above policy or when we replace obamacare and making sure we don't disadvantage everyday americans and we won't. it's a monumental task that i'm up to and others are as well. >> we will have more time to do that. congressman chris collins, thanks for coming on. always good to talk with you. >> you too. have a great day. >> on "meet the press," i will talk to one of the key figures who helped make donald trump president and a fresh perspective on what went so wrong for hillary clinton and the democrats. why i'm already obsessed with the next big election fight. student. if you're totally blind, you may also be struggling with non-24. calling 844-844-2424. or visit my24info.com. good news democrats got on tuesday. what? recent election cycles have followed this pattern. democrats win wednesday and republicans win everything else. the party out of power usually does. while democrats win the white house, the republicans have wiped out the democratic party on the state and local level. now the situation that gives the democrats a chance could be reversed and it could happen in 2018 which might be the perfect year for the democrats to win statehouses, win a few legislatures, replenish the system, and don't forget governorships f. they have success in 2018, suddenly that's the year that state legislatures will be drawing congressional districts after the 2020 census. they will be there in 2021 if they win. if you are looking for lemonade after all these lemons, that's the lemonade that the democrats have if they want to take over the house in the next decade. very little turned out right on tuesday, but the seeds have been sewn for the come back that serves as a 2022 opportunity. we will be back. ed. ♪ [beeping] take on any galaxy with a car that could stop for you. simulation complete. the new nissan rogue. rogue one: a star wars story. in theaters december 16th. protesting. and i think there's a lot of unhappiness in the country and it's probably good to let that out. i think where it goes too far is, obviously, in violence, and it also goes too far when you talk about calling for his impeachment. that's just as wrong as it would be, to talk about hillary clinton's impeachment. >> well, it was just as bad when jason chaffetz was talking about -- >> ridiculous then and progressives attacked it. it's ridiculous now and conservatives are -- >> yeah, he was elected. a lot of people, myself included, were not happy with that outcome, but it is the democratic outcome. popular vote notwithstanding. we solve our problems in america through elections. >> beauty of the ballot box. >> he won. and you don't have to like that, but he won. people say, well, he didn't win the popular vote, but that's not how the system works. >> those aren't the rules. >> somebody made a great point, i saw on twitter, like saying, well, we got the most hits in baseball, so we won. well, we don't do it on hits. my ap, john, said it better. he said, yeah, one team can hit five home runs and the other team can hit two, but if all theirs are solo and the others are five-run homers, you lose. >> i'm with ruth. part to have democracy is we respect the result and we respect the rights of people to say, you know what, i want to voice my concern with that. the thing that i don't like about it is the attempt to de-legitimatize trump. simply because you don't believe him doesn't mean that the 59 million people who voted for him were wrong or it's rigged in some way. he won! you have the right to protest. civilly, without violence. but it doesn't -- >> michael, what's donald trump's responsibility here? because, he -- look, he blew it last night. obviously, he woke up and realized -- self-corrected. >> self-corrected! >> corrected, one way or another. >> it got corrected. >> it got corrected. and you know, you know, basically, crisis averted -- what could have been his first crisis, averted. but it is on him to calm the water, whether he likes it or not. >> my take on that is very simple. you're president and a lot of stuff is going to be coming. incoming every day. it's not personal. it's your job. and you cannot react the way you did initially and i think someone or the at least he did realize that. i think for donald trump, what he has an opportunity to do now, he's the first president in a long time to be elected the unencan you remembune unencumber unencumbered. he's not beholden to the democrats or the republicans. so he in my view can create an opportunity for pragmatic populism, where he can go out into the country and put together the deals that makes america great again, but more importantly, addresses issues like we see on the streets right now and also addresses issues that go to the economic heart of the country. >> hey, i want to bring up something. we didn't get a chance to sort of debrief after talking with chris clayton. there was one other point. chris clayton makes on my podcast, 1947, ding ding, be sure to download it. >> and subscribe. >> there you go. he said, the way we in the media analyzed the policies and talked about the split between college-educated whites and noncollege-educated whites. get what america heard when we did that? >> dumb. >> the smart people and the dumb people. just because you didn't go to college doesn't make you dumb. and clinically, when we would describe it, when i would describe it, it was an academic, clinical -- >> but that's not how it was taken. >> i've been guilty of this. i said, i think it was on a different network, i described uneducated voters -- >> you know what, they're plenty educated. >> that was wrong. and i wanted to take this to a responsibility that the president-elect has. he has said a lot of things that were hurtful to people. they are protesting in the streets in a way that they wouldn't have protest romney, that they didn't protest president bush after he settled. he needs to be aware of that. >> i'm sorry. time cop! sorry! guess what, we can talk about it in ten seconds while we throw to break. thank you, michael, chris, and ruth. wonderful comments, ruth. thank you for saying those, as well. we'll be right back.

caution, you are about to enter the "no spin zone" ." "the factor" begins right now. ♪ ♪ hi, i am bill o'reilly, thanks for watching us tonight. president obama's job performance, that is a subject of this evening's "talking points" memo. about an hour from now, barack obama will deliver his farewell address. after eight years in office, he believes he has been successful. others dissent. "wall street journal" editorializing today, "barack obama's presidency has been a disappointment at home and abroad. in fact, ironically, underscored by mr. obama's relentless insistence that he has been a so, now, "talking points" would like to assess and present the facts about president obama on the job. first of all, some of you believe that i, your humble correspondent, have been too easy on mr. obama. over the years, i've received letters like these. speaking of matthew richards, native massachusetts come i didt realize that you are the new spokesman for the white house. bill, you threw softballs of the president. you are losing your edge. monro township new jersey, o'reilly, why are you defending president obama? "talking points" replies this way. i have been fair. i haven't bashed a president. i have not attacked him personally. i have not bought into the opinion that he wants to damage the usa. i have not bought into that. what i have done is analyze what he has done in a fact-based way. so, let's take a hard look at that. president obama the first, he is half african-american, he's a historic figure. he has given hope too many minorities and others who see him as a person with little advantage in his early life. who, through hard work, grows up to become the most powerful man in the world. that is a very positive thing. mr. obama is a role model for success. on the negative side, and expectedly, the president has not improve the economic or social situation of most poor minority americans. there is no more poverty in the usa that there was when he took office. black home ownership down on his administration. and racial division way up. groups like black lives matter have polarized blacks and whites and mr. obama welcomed that radical group to the white hous white house. kind of a mystery to me why barack obama did not concentrate more on solving the poverty problem. key to that is keeping families intact. at one point, i expected mr. and mrs. obama to make that theme one of of the top priorities. it never happened. for poor education in the inner cities. a lax view on narcotics. and the president's muted support of the police, all contributed to chaos poor neighborhoods. those take a look at the health care situation. mr. obama's vision is good. all americans should have acces. but the execution of obamacare put a steep burden on working-class families, as we all know. health insurance premiums way up, deductibles way up. and doctors accepting the health mandate, becoming fewer and fewer. there is no question obamacare will be repealed under president trump. we all have to hope that the republicans will put forth a better plan. on the economic front, mr. obama did a good job on his first year of stabilizing the economy, which was in free fall, because of the mortgage can't that led to the recession. for example, he made the right decision bailing out some american carmakers who have since repaid the feds. but then, mr. obama shifted into massive income redistribution country. that's destabilized europe, as the migrants pour in. and lead to even more terrorism on the continents. on the russia front, mr. obama was totally impotent in the face of the tyrant putin. the former kgb officer did exactly what he wanted to do, including invading countries and hacking into the american political system. also, the chinese don't fear barack obama. they have made the south china sea international waters their own. they took it over. chinese have also undermined the american economy, as donald trump has so often pointed out. finally, the new treaty with iran, still debatable. what is not debatable is that iran is the primary sponsor of terrorism in the world! including, the direct destabilization of countries in the mideast and afghanistan. the iranians do not fear barack obama. in international matters, it's clear, president obama believes global warming is more important than stabilizing and protecting the world. in the face of a global. now, global warming is real. climate change is happening. but mr. obama's vision of hurting certain economic sectors in america in order to lessen fossil fuel intrusion cannot possibly work unless countries like india and china do the same thing. as everyone knows, they are not. so, mr. obama imposed regulations that hurts the american economy, knowing full well that climate change wouldn't improve for a while. does that make any sense? at this point in history, two-thirds of the american people think america is on the wrong track. but they still like barack obama. his approval ratings are about 50%. that is up to the president's credit. he has put forth in emmett java responsibility. but as the nation's leader, mr. obama has not improved the economy to any significant extent, has not diminished poverty and poor education, has not brought americans together, and has used the power of this great nation in a way that has created mayhem abroad. that is the historical record. nothing to do with ideology or wishful thinking. it has everything to do with performance. and that's the memo. next on the rundown, took our presidential historians will react. later, a nasty racial controversy on capitol hill including a painting offensive to american police officers. "the factor" is coming right back. ♪ take medication, you may sometimes suffer from a dry mouth. that's why there's biotene. and biotene also comes in a handy spray. so you can moisturize your mouth anytime, anywhere. biotene, for people who suffer from dry mouth symptoms. the most common side effect is low blood sugar, which can be serious and life threatening. it may cause shaking, sweating, fast heartbeat, and blurred vision. check your blood sugar levels daily while using toujeo®. injection site reactions may occur. don't change your dose or type of insulin without talking to your doctor. tell your doctor if you take other medicines and about all your medical conditions. insulins, including toujeo®, in combination with tzds (thiazolidinediones) may cause serious side effects like heart failure that can lead to death, even if you've never had heart failure before. don't dilute or mix toujeo® with other insulins or solutions as it may not work as intended and you may lose blood sugar control, which could be serious. toujeo® helps me stay on track with my blood sugar. ask your doctor about toujeo®. ♪ >> bill: our lead story, president obama's legacy. he will be speaking in just under an hour, giving his farewell address. joining us from washington, david azzerad, presidential historian. national tennessee, jon meacham, also a presidential historian, latest book, "test destiny and power." all right, jon, i know you are overcome with my brilliance, but that i make any mistakes in "the memo"? >> it was longer than a sermon on the mound that is perhaps as memorable. i don't think you made mistakes. i think there are some omissions that i would offer up as context, if i were writing the historical legacy of obama. i think on the economic front, you do have to give credit for the rise in the towel, only two other president since 1900 have presided over a rise in a stock market of this scope, calvin coolidge and bill clinton. the tax rates, you talk about how he was interested in redistribution of income. the tax rates are still lower than they were when ronald reagan assigned the bill on his ranch in august of 1981. lowering the rate from 70 under carter to 50, finally got it or 28. >> bill: not the overall -- it's a little sleight-of-hand, meacham, i am surprised that you are down here in nashville, you don't take into social security facts, which is really whacked. working americans, because, the restraints are off, it is much, much higher. and the state situation burden, you have the tax system. and the highest rate of corporate tax of the world, jon. >> right, you have a 3.8% obamacare tax on investing. >> bill: right, so, come on? it's a strange goal situation if you are looking for vibrant growth, you can't get it. >> i agree with that. the economy grew twice as fast under george h.w. bush and he got thrown out of office after one year. >> bill: let's go to mr. azzerad. what do you say? >> i generally agree with you, bill. the problem is with obama, it's his policies. obama, by all accounts, is a good man. i think we could and cried and the fact that he was our first african-american president. the problem is, when you turn to the policies, he pursued aggressively from obamacare to the iran deal to climate change, they are unpopular and they are unsuccessful. i find it telling that when obama is on the ballot, he wins. when he isn't, when it's his policies, it's his legacy, the american voters overwhelmingly reject him in the democratic party gets shellacked as the president himself. >> bill: what is it about barack obama? has he mesmerized people? as i said, his approval rating is better than 50%. yet, two-thirds of the american people think the countries had to get the wrong direction. it doesn't really stock. >> he is young, he is charismatic, the first black president. people want him to succeed. he carries himself more often than not with a certain dignity. so, i don't think it is anything personal. the left wants us to believe that the american people are racist and don't like it president for who he is. i think the whole country wanted him to succeed. he just pushed an agenda that was much more progressive than the country was ready for. and displayed a tin air to the e problems facing the country. >> bill: he wasn't nimble. you think he was too stubborn, jon? he didn't want to work with the republicans, i understand a lot of them were trying to sabotage him. in isis, that really bothers me. everyone told him, hey, you got a big problem here, leon panetta told him, his own guys told him. he kept going, i don't really care. i think that that is going to go down in history, either he was in denial on an issue that has killed tens of thousands of people or he just was incompetent, which is at? >> well, when you write history, character is destiny, you know this. part of the presidents character is he has occasionally given off the sense that if only the american people were commensurate with his brilliance, things would be better. i think that has been a problem with his leadership. i think one thing we have to give him credit for, the other thing about that, he also overcorrected as presidents tend to do, from his predecessor. anything that smacked of george w. bush, obama was going to go the other way. >> bill: particularly dick cheney. but ice is in a glaring error. i don't understand, mr. azzerad, why a president would avoid a confrontation with the group, seeing the massive, massive chaos that it caused. you know, all of these people in the middle east and africa now going into europe. that is going to be a problem for decades to come. it's right on obama's watch. >> his heart was never into foreign policy. i mean, he promised to fundamentally transform the united states of america, to remake the country. he was never interested in foreign policy. he viewed it as a distraction. this accounts were part of it, his heart was never into it braids >> bill: still, the jihad is a presence main focus to protect us. do you think, jon, do you think that barack obama at this point understands the criticisms that i just laid out? or is he one of these people that blocks all that out and said, i did a great job, i don't want to hear anything else? >> he would answer each one. you've interviewed him a lot. one of his favorite formulations is, this notion that -- then, he undercuts it. >> bill: now, we have eight years of facts. >> he is going to spend a long time, this is a man who can live another 50 years, arguing. let me say one other thing about terrorism. i think he has to get credit, i want to hear what you think about this, there has not been a spectacular attack on my on the homeland and his eight years. >> bill: correct. >> he launched ten times, 100 times, as many drone strikes as george w. bush. he killed 3000 terrorists. and i think, and many ways, alienated many people on the left with his anti-terror campaigns. azzerad isis is incredibly impo. >> bill: i think that when it was convenient for him to attack, he attacks. when it was no downside, he did it. but when it was complicated, he didn't. i will give mr. azzerad the last word. give president obama -- i want to grade from you, jon meacham, mr. azzerad, give me a grade. >> according to what you want to great him, i would say, what that he promised to do? president obama promised hope and change. he give us angst and insecurity. he promised to unify us and all he did was divide us by race, by religion, by class, by paying identity politics. i think he has earned a f. but in this stage of great inflation, he will probably get a d. >> i think it is a b. i think the prosperous have gotten more prosperous, that is one of the reasons trump won because the prosperity did not come down to where it needed to come. also, in history, as you know, bill you are not judged only by what your predecessors did, but by how your successors do. so, this will be an open question. >> bill: you gave him a b and mr. azzerad is giving him a d. good discussion. directly ahead, senator sessions telling americans what he should be the next attorney general, even as a some clowns interrupt his testimony on capitol hill. later, the feds once again wasting a colossal amount of tax money on incredibly stupid things. upcoming. say hello to a powerful tool that gives you options to fit your budget. ♪ oh, i'm tied to this chair! ♪ dun-dun-daaaa! i don't know that an insurance-themed comic book is what we're looking for. did i mention he can save people nearly $600?

americas, most of them, think that it is a despicable display. >> the fact is, bill the people that protested jeff sessions are the same people that protested hillary clinton throughout the entire presidential campaign. many people condemned the behavior today applauded it during the campaign. i think that speaks to the divisions we see in this country. i think the more effective protest was by kaiser con today, the gold star father, who bore silent witness in his opposition to jeff sessions, and his nomination because of his opposition to the full voting rights act, his support of donald trump's muslim band, and his criticism of civil rights groups. >> bill: no one is saying that there are legitimate protesters in a good thing. you mentioned the division of this country, remember, your guy, president obama, promised to bring everyone together. but the country is more divided now than ever, is that correct? >> i think unfortunately, what you say, bill the very beginning of barack obama's presidency, he was met with opposition from the tea party republicans and even donald trump. >> bill: it's not his fault? >> it's a continuation. i think democrats and the left saw that the tea party, the right enter them, were rewarded for that opposition i fail, they are going to do that. >> bill: you see the country as more divided than we have seen in decades, you see that, correct? >> i agree with that. >> bill: let me get over to melissa. so, my posture is that these crazy far left people help sessions and a trump at all of the stuff that they do works against what they really want. >> i don't know who they are really persuading. i saw one woman leaving, she was chanting about black lives matter but she was reading from a note card. i am like, you are so committed to reading this role, you are reading your lines and he didn't even bother to memorize it. it's not very convincing. these folks yell racist at any one who is right of center. and for sensible people out there watching the program tonight, they look inside their own hearts. you only really know your own heart. they say, i know i'm not racist. if that is your best argument, that this point -- >> bill: anyone who voted for donald trump is a racist. that is how they extreme they are. why do you think i'm a melissa, that the country is so divided? >> i think it is based on money. i think we have seen the gap between what mike rich and poor widen amazingly between the president's tenure. meaning, income has fallen. when people are falling behind, can put enough food in the table, don't see their kids' lives as being better, they are so preoccupied with these things, they get very frustrated. all these other things, you blame other thing, is it about a race come about that. everybody was doing better and prospering, -- >> bill: bad economic times mean more frustration. >> more friction. >> bill: do you agree with that, mary anne? >> certainly, tough economic times certainly defines that. then, also, as defined by race and gender. you can't escape that. you have to give barack obama credit, as you did in your talking points, for putting the country back on track economically. what didn't happen is people didn't make more money. they lost wages. they lost the opportunity to get ahead. it took all eight years -- >> bill: as you heard, he did a good job in his first year, then, he went wild with the income redistribution and strangled the economy by all of the higher taxes and regulations. that was my analysis. the last row to melissa. >> i disagree with that. >> bill: do you think that trump puck, who is a polarizing figure, just like barack obama is a polarizing figure, do you think that trump will bring peoe together more? >> i think it's a challenge. a lot of that depends on the economy, as well. if he truly brings jobs back, he gets families doing better, i think that brings more people together, because most people are focused on their own family and their own community. >> bill: he can improve the job -- >> he has potential to divide further and do more race baiting. it could go either way but i bet on the economy. >> bill: all right, ladies, thank you. bill, last point. trump said on election night he would bring the country together but he has yet to do it since that night. >> he's not president yet, so, there you go. >> bill: i was just going to say that. melissa stole that from me. more as "the factor" moves along the ceiling. the state of california setting itself up to go out had to head with president trump once he's in office. former first lady of san francisco kimberly guilfoyle has some thoughts on nuts. then, nasty racial controversy at the capital. we hope you stay tuned for those reports. i am totally blind. i lost my sight in afghanistan. if you're totally blind, you may also be struggling with non-24. calling 844-844-2424. or visit my24info.com. ♪ >> bill: you may have heard about a painting that has been hanging in the capitol complex in d.c. since last june. it depicts a police officer in uniform as a pig aiming a gun at african-american protesters. again, this is my capitol. congressman duncan hunter, i a republican, took the gun down, physically took it down. but congressman lacy clay, a democrat, had the picture product, and wants to charge hunter with theft. something that will not happen. at this point, the offending pictures up, down, up, down, up, down, depending what minute it is. joining us from washington, lisa boothe and juan williams. is it appropriate in the capitol complex, i believe? >> i don't get is inappropriate. you can have a standard to controversial or inflammatory. but the problem is, would you say the same thing about statues to confederates that lead us to have a civil war? clearly, you want art that an flex passion, feeling -- >> bill: you don't think this is an appropriate? >> not at all. to be when i ask you this question, please answer richard directly. if i commission a painting of black gang members shooting a 9-year-old boy in chicago, is that going to be appropriate to put in the capitol building? >> if you could mention it, probably not. if you asked me, i would say on the same basis that i say that is appropriate, that is appropriate. those are alarming issues. >> bill: a black gang member with a gun shooting a 9-year-old, it's in the capitol. >> this is art that came from a member of congress. >> bill: this guy, lacy clay -- >> he had won in our contest. >> bill: no, no, no. lacy clay picked him, that guy, picked him. it was his contest, clay. come on! it's bogus! he wanted that. he wanted that up! what to say you? >> this is reprehensible and it's irresponsible for representative clay flared i worked on capitol hill, i have walked the hallway where these pictures and pieces of artwork are hung up. it is chosen by the member's office to represent both the member and also, the congressional district. this guy is choosing, to be represented by a picture that depicts a false narrative from ferguson, which we have seen since ferguson and just this past year alone, 56% increase in police -- ambush style police killing of police officers. >> bill: if that picture were displayed somewhere else, would you object to its? >> absolutely. i think it's disgusting. i think what it is -- >> bill: wait, wait, wait. >> sure. >> bill: is of the artist have the freedom under our constitution to display art tha? >> yes, bill. the problem is of the fact that the representative chose this out of many options to represent his office. >> bill: he wanted to insult the police, he wanted to get attention, all that. i'm worried when you say it should be banned. i don't think it should be banned. no, no, no. i want to get back to you on the bogus argument that clay put forth and you parroted about confederate people like robert e lee being displayed in the capitol building. that is history. all right? that is history. we don't have to like all of our historical figures. but robert e lee is a general. he was a pivotal figure in the civil war. so, you put up his statue and you say, this is what robert e lee did. it's not endorsing robert e lee, is not showing him with a gun shooting a 2-year-old, it's not doing any of that. that argument is bogus. >> i disagree with you. >> bill: so come historical figures -- >> i think you are supporting my argument, you are saying, something of historical significance -- by the way, lisa, you said, false narrative. there is no false narrative. do you go ask the minority community in this country -- >> from ferguson? >> he will find out lots of people have lots of problems. >> bill: there is no history in that picture. >> wait a minute. i didn't lisa refer to ferguson and the tensions between police and black people? 's >> bill: it had nothing to do with the police officer as a pig. that is not history! are you kidding? >> that is what some people have called -- >> bill: it doesn't matter, that's not history! >> can i answer? >> bill: that is not history. >> do you think -- >> bill: it doesn't matter. it's the appropriateness of the venue. last word, lisa. >> it's not just that. the way that the artist's is depicting ferguson is absolutely false. there is a false narrative that was driven by the left and the media and it has led to a lot of police deaths across this country and it is reprehensible for this member of congress to pick this painting among many to represent both himself and the congressional office. >> bill: we are talking specifically about ferguson. they are talking more broadly. >> bill: it doesn't matter, this congressman wanted to insult police my capitol. his name is lacy clay if you want to give him a buzz tomorrow, i'm sure he would like to talk to you. lisa, juan, thank you. we will talk with kimberly guilfoyle about the state of california challenging donald trump on a number of issues. that could be. intense. and to gutfeld and mcguirk on your tax money being wasted in incredible ways. those stories after these messages. it's not just a car.. it's your daily retreat. go ahead, spoil yourself. the es and es hybrid. this is the pursuit of perfection. i have age-related maculare degeneration, amd, he told me to look at this grid every day. and we came up with a plan to help reduce my risk of progression, including preservision areds 2. my doctor said preservision areds 2 has the exact nutrient formula the national eye institute recommends to help reduce the risk of progression of moderate to advanced amd after 15 years of clinical studies. preservision areds 2. because my eyes are everything. with not food, become food? thankfully at panera, 100% of our food is 100% clean. no artificial preservatives, sweeteners, flavors, or colors. panera. food as it should be. save now when you buy philips sonicare. >> bill: thanks for staying with us. i am fellow riley. the federal government versus the state of california. the showdown is coming. no question, donald trump in the golden state are in a collision course. the state will pay former attorney general eric holder to stop president trump from taking action against sanctuary cities. lieutenant governor gavin newsom says he may file suit against the trump administration if it tries to build a wall between california and mexico. on environmental reasons. governor jerry brown has nominated a far left guy to be the attorney general. xavier. i'm not sure his first name. once married to gavin newsom, who i called gary, kimberly guilfoyle. [laughter] all right. it may be xavier, javier. >> we will settle without periods. when i got misled by somebody who i will beat up later. anyway, you have an interesting viewpoint or vantage point because you were married to newsom when he was the mayor of san francisco, which is the most far left major city in the country. to >> for sure. >> bill: a bout of people who don't live in california, they don't understand why this state has moved so far to the left. do you? >> they really feel that they have a mandate that they will be basically the head of state against -- for the antitrust movement. they really believe these ideologies. i would grow up, i was born and raised in san francisco. i saw what happened there, horrible homeless problems. i worked as a prosecutor, assistant district attorney. this was the top sanctuary city, as you know, with the murder there of kate steinle. to >> bill: there was no remorse for her death. there was a justification, you saw it, we ambushed him, we ran him around at all of that. but again. >> i know, -- >> bill: what is the mentality of people who, despite seeing the homeless destroy their city, leading the league and property crimes, all of that, still refused to say, maybe we are not going in the right direction here? >> they refuse to actually equip themselves with the facts come,h the statistics. as you saw, this is a state that voted very strongly for hillary clinton. what they are not prepared for, they are ill-equipped, a fight that they are going to get. >> bill: who is going to end that? >> president-elect trump and sessions. >> bill: it will be jerry brown against donald trump, essentially. who is going to end my? >> ultimately come , i think the governor, gavin newsom, i think he will win, he will -- he has punch on his podcast, also known as my ex-husband, he has pledged to go against donald trump. he said that the wall will never happen. they have filed an environmental lawsuit. >> bill: does he want open borders? newsom? does he want everyone to come in? >> he doesn't want to have closed borders. he will fight very, very aggressively against it. in addition too many -- >> bill: i'm trying to get into his mindset. if you were here, i would say, mr. newsom, do you support having anyone who wants to walk into the united states? what would he say? yes or no? >> eventually, he would say yes. >> bill: i think he would say yes but and make an excuse. >> i don't think he will make an excuse. he up embraces these policies. he is one of the top surrogates for hillary clinton during this campaign. he is really going to -- >> bill: you say he's the next governor? >> i guarantee he will be the next governor. >> bill: the central part of california on the northern part, not that liberal, once you get away from the coast, they are mixed independent, mixed. but the coast, the coastal cities, san francisco, l.a., all of that southern california, with with the exception of orange county. you say they are true believers, they will never see another point of view, no matter how many policies do not work, they want a left-wing policy, they don't care whether they work boys because they want left-wing policies. i'll give you an example, when i was first lady, we had a program called "care, not cash. we didn't believe in giving people cash to let them use drug abuse. horrible homeless drug problem there. they will not allow you, essentially, to give services, which is what we tried to do, when i was married to gavin, they let couches on fire in front of my house. they rang the bell all hours of the day and night, death threats, only because we were trying to help people. >> bill: you didn't want to give them cash because you knew they would spend the cash on the drugs? you want her to give other forms of assistance where they could help themselves but not by hair when? >> job training, rehabilitation. >> things lit on fire around the house, to the point it wasn't safe to stay there. >> bill: i usually walk away from that mentality when a seat on the street but i wanted to try to get involved and why so many californians think that way. gutfeld and mcguirk on deck. $5 billion of our tax money wasted by our country recently. the boys next. said what they meant? the citi® double cash card does. earn 1% cash back when you buy, and 1% as you pay. double means double. when really, it's scorching. and while some may say the desert is desolate... we prefer secluded. what is the desert? it's absolutely what you need right now. absolutely scottsdale. ♪ >> bill: back in the book segment tonight, what the heck just happened? an amazing report released by senator jeff flake of arizona called "wastebook," porkemon go. it chronicles $5 billion, an amazing display of waste. here now, with the top three each, all right, gutfeld, what is your first run? >> they spent 300 grand trying to answer one thing, what are boys play with more often, transformers are barbies? i'm going to blow your mind here. it turns out they play with transformers. >> bill: why did they want to know what little boys play with, it dolls or the transformers? >> this is all part of the social science thing that is trying to say that boys and girls aren't any different, but they left out boys that don't play with transformers or barbies, boys like me, who just find things on the highway to play with. >> bill: okay. >> like women's shoes, scissors, matches. >> bill: mcguirk, your first one. >> my first one is the ominous music makes people afraid of sharks. >> bill: how much was spent on ms.? >> they spent $3 million. the goal was to positively promote sharks. 2000 viewers was the test, they showed them shark videos and they determined that yes, the ominous music unfairly demonizes the sharks and the uplifting music, i don't know what it was, "the sound of music," it actually made people want to -- >> bill: $3 million for this agency, the government gave them 3 million tax dollars, okay, to find out if sharks are being demonized by music. >> that's right. >> bill: okay. number two. >> they spent 460 grand teaching computers or artificial intelligence to watch television to see how humans think. so, they had computers watch "desperate housewives," or "the office" so they could predict human behavior. i think this is a great idea but they picked the wrong shows. they should have picked "the o'reilly factor," the artificial intelligence would say, not having it. not having it. kimberly guilfoyle, everybody. >> bill: 460,000, so computers could watch the shows and predict what again? what did they want to predict? >> so they can predict human behavior. they should have had them watch "mr. ed," so the computers thought that horses could talk. that would've been hilarious. >> the national institutes of health, $3.4 million to have male hamsters pitted against each other to "study aggression and anxiety in rodents." by the way, they used syrian hamsters, they said they were the most useful in these fights. i know what you are thinking. >> bill: he is banned syrian hamsters. >> why are we allowing syrian hamsters into this country? that ends january 20th. the conclusion is that the more hamster's right, the more they went would not come if they use steroids, they are more aggressive. >> bill: so, they had two hamsters from syria fight each other -- >> at northeastern university. >> bill: perfect. perfect. you can't even wear a sombrero up there but you can have hamsters fighting. and the one on steroids with the kids to the one without steroids? >> that's correct. >> bill: did the steroid one? >> always won. >> bill: last one. >> this, actually think it's well worth it. they spent $88,000 looking at 500 years of climate change data and they saw a slight increase in temperature increases the quality of a fine wine. red wine taste better if the temperature goes up slightly, just slightly. this means that global warming is good, especially if you are a drunk like me. better wine means happier people, which means fewer wars, a better planet. ie, ergo, global warming equals global peace. we win. i love you. >> cheers! i like that. >> bill: 's what is your last one? >> my last run is how to be more popular online, actually. how to be more popular online. one of the first photos containing faces, 38% more likely to receive likes. that is unless you have a face like brian kilmeade, of course. [other factor that increases the number of likes is having a lot. don't be posting pictures of your dead pets. >> bill: so, why does the government wants to know how to be more popular online? cloud where they want to know that? why would they spend money to find that out? >> so, they could burn money, bill. that is the whole idea. >> bill: i know that gutfeld has tax liens against them. it is not as personal. but mcguirk and i pay a lot of taxes. >> i like meeting people online. they don't know who i am. >> bill: >> to counter disinforn campaigns. >> bill: bottom line -- >> i met a woman online. >> i'm glad. we congratulate senator flake, good job, $5 billion on all this nonsense and not one penny should have been spent on it. gentlemen, thank you. and that is it for us tonight because we have a whole bunch of stuff coming up. thanks again for watching. tomorrow on "the factor" rule we will cover donald trump's first press conference in quite a while. right, president obama warming up for his farewell address. the tenant off to tucker carlson, who was standing by in >> tucker: good evening i am tucker carlson, president obama's farewell address will be in chicago. there is other news tonight too. senate democrats went after jeff sessions today, of course, donald trump's pick for attorney general. in a few minutes, president obama will try to explain why his eight years in office have been a lot better than a lot of people seem to remember them. for a game attempt defending the obama legacy. but first, as we await the president, we are joined by fox news chief political anger. >> of hope and change, his explanation of what happened in those eight years. obviously, you will hear a litany of defense of what he believes are his accomplishments but i think you're going to hear a lot about coming together as a country, perhaps some mornings to the president-elect, donald trump. and remember, this is 2,989 days after he del victory speech in grant park, just a short way away from mccormick place, where he is delivering this farewell address in chicago. and he is going to try to say that he made america a better place over eight years. i think you would have a lot of critics out there, especially even in chicago. where there are some who say things didn't get better and the election of donald trump was a repudiation of obama's policies. with a high approval rating, politics has met about 4% tonight. >> tucker: so he wrote this speech himself or at least worked on it closely? if you want to know what obama really thinks, listen tonight. he is going to tell us what he really thinks. no political reasons. what he believes his legacy will be. do you think that is fair? >> i think he is laying the groundwork for his party. this is a democratic party trying to find itself. it is licking its wounds because he has lost under eight years of president obama, there are now fewer governors that are democrats, state legislatures have been obliterated as far as from a democratic point of view and obviously he doesn't have control of the house and the senate as he leaves office. something that he did have control of as he took office. in 2008. you have obamacare and the solution, the repeal and replace it is going to come and all of the regulations that are going to be signed out by donald trump as he takes the office january 20th. >> tucker: he has suggested obliquely that he will continue to speak out on issues in his post-presidency. do you want to tell us more on that? >> we don't know, think that is the biggest question going forward. what does it look like in the post-presidency for president obama who will live in washington, d.c. his kids are still going to go to school there in washington and barring some figure who comes out for the democratic party to lead the way, president obama is probably that figure in the short term. >> tucker: you expect president-elect trump will respond in any way to the address tonight? >> i do, from the news conference tomorrow, i believe it 11:00 a.m. eastern time, you will hear a response. probably directly. that will be president-elect trump's first press conference since election, it will be his first news conference since july, actually. >> tucker: interesting. the biggest issue on the table right now obviously is obamacare. if you could, rate the likelihood of a repeal and replacement of obamacare in the next few months. do you think it is high? >> i think it is high. grandpa went through a detailed plan tonight that president electron has signed on to. i think it is a tough hurdle, they have a lot of plans out there and they they're going te together it started already in the next couple months. >> tucker: it has got to be an awfully bitter thing for the still president obama to watch. >> it is, and that is his signature piece of legislation. you're going to hear a defense tonight, i think.

plus literally dialing up the rhetoric. president trump and president putin set to talk as counterpart tomorrow. but who's calling who? keir simmons in new york, kristen welker at the white house. big meeting today, big phone call tomorrow but it's the meeting that's not happening that's grabbing all the headlines, right? >> that's right. that meeting that was supposed to happen with the president of mexico which was cancelled yesterday after president trump insisted that mexico was going to pay for the wall, the president of mexico said not going to pay for the wall. that is something we have heard him say over and over again. then we learned he cancelled the meeting. president trump tried to cast it as a mutual decision. bottom line, this is a rift in a relation with one of the united states' closest allies, its third largest trading partner. what happens next? the administration floating the idea of a possible 20% tax on imports from mexico and, hallie, for a very busy day. keir simmons is in new york. theresa may has to thread this very delicate needle. >> that's right. in her speech she was able to send a signal to president trump that, if you like, she's on his side, that britain and america see things at the same way and at the same time send a number of messages that will have been picked up and have been picked up back in the u.k. about things like nato, about russia, about iran, about a whole range issues and primarily saying to president trump, america still needs to lead in the world. so that balance she still needs to strike as she prepares to meet with the president at 1:00 eastern today. she still needs to be able to somehow build trust with him while at the same time be her own person. oh, to be a fly on the wall. if people haven't seen her before yesterday, a school mistress type. she's a serious person. >> why? >> she got a number of standing ovations but the first laugh didn't happen until about 30 minutes into that speech. so that's the kind of person she is. how will that gel with president trump? you know what she said to british journalists on the flight over here? opposites attract. >> i was going to ask you about the idea of president trump who is on twitter, theresa may don't even hav a twitter account. will opposites attract in this instance politically? >> we don't know. she does have an official twitter account. if you take a look at it, all that is on there, posted on there are clips from her speeches and official announcements. it's such a contrast. who knows. when you think about the reagan-thatcher relationship, in some ways reagan was the warm, kind of easy going -- thatcher was the star owner's daughter, she famously had the handbag, she was famously tough and together that seemed to gel. it's so crucial with international relations. but in a sense, though, hallie, we're talking there about the way things have been and president trump as so far seems to change so much. and that's what's so difficult for world leaders is figuring out how things will work in the future. and the real danger for the british and the real danger for any world leader who chooses to take the road which the british prime minister has is to stay as the british always has really close to washington. the danger is that president trump starts to do things that britain really doesn't agree with and how does she respond to that? fundamentally she knows that if she has washington on side, it really strengthens her negotiations with the european union, but it's full of risks. >> keir, i think you should hop on a train and get down to washington because there's a lot of anticipation for that meeting. thank you very much, keir simmons at 30 rock. >> and reaction from another key al ally, mexico. press secretary sean spicer first said there would be a 20% attack on imports. two hours later backing off after some backlash saying that's just one of many options. president trump not backing off his promise that mexico will, in fact, pay for the wall. >> i've said many times that the american people will not pay for the wall. and i've made that clear to the government of mexico. >> we're working on a tax reform bill that will reduce our trade deficit, increase american exports and will generate revenue from mexico that will pay for the wall if we decide to go that route. >> reminder, mexico says it is not going to pay for that wall mariana atencio is joining us this morning. you've been talking to folks there in the capital. what are they saying? >> reporter: i've spoken to business leaders who tell me in board rooms across this nation, they are waiting to see what president trump will do. mexicans are angry, appalled at president trump's dismissive tone toward a nation they say has contributed so much to the u.s. economy. i'm here with senator armando rios. senator, what will be discussed in this meeting given president trump's executive actions on immigration and the wall? >> well, we need to hear the minister of economy and the minister of foreign relations. we just went there to the united states last tuesday. we need to hear their report and we need to take some actions for knowing which are the next steps too take regarding security, regarding trade. we need to have a common position with the senate, off course with president pena anyw nieto. >> what kind of actions are being evaluatevaluated? >> my position is we should stop negotiating with the united states regarding security issues, regarding anti-terrorism that we've been working to the for the last years and that now it has no sense to keep on collaborating with an unfriendly government, specifically in the drug enforcement area. of course we need to take a look at what we need to change because we are spending so much money with some kind of relationship that doesn't seem to be in the benefit for us anymore. >> and what about trade, senator? what concrete actions would you consider taking? >> we need to change our patterns of consumption. we've been buying a lot of corns for the states of the corn beds, specifically iowa, some of those. we need to start thinking if he wants to tax our goods that are sold there in the united states, we need to change. probably we can change -- we can buy the corn now to brazil or to argentina and stop buying it. it's a retaliation regarding what he's saying. >> thank you so much, senator. i don't want to keep you from the meeting with president pena. you heard it, possible concrete actions regarding the war on drugs and consumer products, as you heard. >> rachel, we were watching that interview together and you were sort of nodding and said at one point, that's exactly the issue. walk me through what you heard and what stood out to you. >> i any whthink what we heard there is rising tension with mexico and we can expect representatives in that government are going to feel the need to retaliate, that whether or not concrete actions are taken, we know that rhetoric coming from president trump is having some very tangible effects within mexico. so whether we talking about a trade war, whether we're talking about decreased cooperation at the border, we're talking about problems hitting american consumers, we're talking about problems with combatting the drug trade at the border. this is a partner for the united states. mexico has served as a collaborator and a partner for the last two decades. let's not forget that that want always true. >> put this into context for me here. i spoke with alfonso aguilar. he said, listen, this lack of a meeting with pena nieto is not a long-term problem, a 20% tax would be. is this a bump in the road or are we going to be talking about this two years ago from a turning point? >> i don't think that one meeting is a problem. i think over a year of aggressive rhetoric towards mexico is what we can point to as the problem. i think we can say that year of very aggressive rhetoric. every country has the right to defend itself. the united states has the right to secure its borders as it sees fi this rhetoric around we have to build this wall, making this very aggressive and confrontational, i think that's what we'll see as the turning point is the way this is addressed. >> so if the wall discussion was happening but with a different tone from pluresident trump, do you see that as problematic? >> i think if president trump was saying i think it's important to find a way to increase borders and find a way to work more closely with our partners in the region to combat drug trade, i think that would be a legitimate discussion. >> how real is the idea this lift could embolden the liberal wing of mexican politics and put someone into power who is more anti-u.s.? >> i think we're already seeing massive support for the leading candidate of the opposition, who really advocates for separating from the united states. i absolutely think this could have a very heavy influence, if not jest the wall but specifically the larger relationship. i think you're seeing a sentiment among mexicans if the u.s. doesn't play with us, we don't want to play with them. >> but how do they play if they're literally not speaking to each other? >> part what was so insulting about trump's exetive orders was he signed them the day the foreign minister was in the united states talking to his government. to say they're not talking is not true. >> the foreign minister was on his way to meet with the president there and drove right past and kept on going. >> this is a country we share 2,000 miles of borders with, over the last 250-some years, w created a relationship with. i think we shouldn't have such short-term memories and we should be worried when we see someone not walking in the door to have that conversation see that has illustrative. >> much more coming up on president trump's tense relationships with mexico. after the break, we're joined by juan vargas. or fill a big order or expand your office and take on whatever comes next. find out how american express cards and services can help prepare you for growth at open.com. find out how american here you go.picking up for kyle. you wouldn't put up with part of a pizza. um. something wrong?

>> we already have the fence. in some areas, we have three walls. so they've already built these. i kind of laugh when people talk about this. they put these things in saying this was going to stop immigration. it didn't. people got bigger ladders, they tunnelled underneath. unless he wants to put up a fourth fence, a fourth wall somewhere, we already have it. if you start at the ocean, literally 150 yards into the ocean, they have all these gigantic pillars and the three border mountai border fences go to the mountains and they you can't build anything. the first one didn't work, the second one didn't work, the third one didn't work and i assume the fourth one's not going to work either. >> democratic congressman want vargas of california, we're going to get you on our schedule after that meeting with president trump. >> right now tens of thousands of people are expected t gather not far from where i'm sitting right now near the washington monument for the annual march for life. history being made with vice president pence addressing the crowd. you're looking at live pictures before the rally begins. we'll head there live after the break. i am totally blind. watry...duo fusiong heartburn relief?

are you feeling more optimistic? we've heard that from a lot of people. >> i am feeling more optimistic. i feel like tha the pro-life movement, the agenda, is going to be more heard from. >> okay. >> and what do you hope to get out of today? what's the message you'd like to tell the rest of america? >> well, i think the reason i'm here is because i honestly believe president trump has brought god back into washington, d.c. and back into the white house and i am just thrilled to be here. >> and what are you hoping to hear from the vice president today when he speaks? >> well, i'm excited to hear what he has to say. i think it's going to be encouraging and uplifting. it's a new day in our country. >> that's what we're hearing from a lot of people in the crowd, this sense of optimism moving forward. >> nbc's kristen dahlgren live for us on the mall. thank you. president trump plans to speak with russian president vladimir putin on the weekend about what the white house is saying about the russian sanctions on the other side of the break. if you have medicare so don't wait. call now to request your free decision guide. it could help you find the aarp medicare supplement plan that works for you. these types of plans have no networks, so you get to choose any doctor who accepts medicare patients. rates are competitive, and they're the only plans of their kind endorsed by aarp. remember - these plans let you apply all year round. so call today. because now's the perfect time to learn more. go long. donald trump had toward putin in the campaign. >> a lot of eyeballs. i don't know if there's going to be any ears listening in. i doubt they're going to tap their own phone calls but maybe. stranger things have happen. a hint from kellyanne conway. she made it very clear that lifting sanctions on russia would be an option. have a listen. >> all of that is under consideration and certainly in addition to improving relations with different leaders around the globe. if vladimir putin wants to have a conversation about how to defeat radical islamism, we're listening. >> two years ago it was then president barack obama who initially had to drag angela merkel along on sanctions with russia because there's so many economic ties between germany and russia. one other quick note on this meeting here, mattis will be meeting in the tank with the joint chiefs and president trump. they had dinner a couple of nights ago, all they white house about a two-hour meeting to discuss a range of issues. so we'll see whether or not there are actually any tasking orders or presidential directives to the present gone saying come up with some new plans to accelerate the plan. >> and mattis has been sworn in. he got his hair cut at the pentagon. the price is $12. you go in, you ask for a hair cut and they have one question, civilian or military? i'll get back to you on whether he asked for a civilian or military. >> hans, i don't know what we would do without you. thank you, pal. ambassador, hair cuts aside, i want to get your reaction on what we just heard from kellyanne conway. she said the lifting of sanctions on russia is under consideration. overall reaction to that, perhaps unsurprising maybe? >> this administration likes to lay out a lot of different options and create leverage for possible concessions. isis remains the priority for president trump and lifting financial sanctions is the priority for mr. putin. you can expect some kind of a combination there. this is the first call they'll have had and i think there will be pleasantries and introductory discussions as well. >> with president putin, my advice is to engage. there is nothing inevitable between conflict between the conflict with the west. butgage with russia from a position of strength. >> engage but beware. how does donald trump actually do that and will he do that? will that message from theresa may get through when the president has talked repeatedly about wanting a better and stronger relationship with vladimir putin? >> we've also heard president trump talking about rebuilding our nuclear arsenal or updating it, talked about military investment. i think he's going to have a two-track strategy to project m america's defense and military capabilities will be robust but we need an ally in the fight against isis and radical islamic extremism. the challenge is going to be what happens in europe with nato. will there continue to be this tit for tat in overflights and reckless actions by mr. putin on the frontier of europe? >> in this phone call nato might come up. is there a way that donald trump could step in it with vladimir putin? >> england and theresa may are no fans of mr. putin. so inevitably i think there are a lot mine fields but i don't think they're going to take place in this phone call. this is going to be an opening gamut. i think that everybody's going to be reading between the lines but this is really going to be about just resetting, a poor choice of words, that's the clinton policy. but reestablishing a rapport with the russian leadership and of course it's going to be fraught with all kind of complications. >> ambassador stewart holliday. appreciate you being here. president trump talking about waterboarding, talking about how he believes it is actually an effective interrogation methods and experts in the field agree. is he right? plus other recent comments when we come back. can i give it to you straight? that airline credit card you have... it could be better. it's time to shake things up. with the capital one venture card, you get double miles on everything you buy, not just airline purchases. seriously, think of all the things you buy. great...is this why you asked me to coffee?

i thought you's was wearing a wire. haha, what? why would i wear a wire? geico. because saving fifteen percent or more on car insurance is always a great answer. >> waterboarding used to be used because they said it reall wasn't torture. it was the one step slightly before torture. i mean, torture is realtor ch t. i spoke with people who said absolutely it works. absolutely. >> that is president trump talking about waterboarding as an effective tool in the war or terror. is he right? >> when you look at the idea of torture being effect iveffectivo you the experts say ? >> you look at james mattis who says i never found it effective. and those are the voices from donald trump's own team and donald trump said those voices with matter to him but then you end up going to what obama administration say, director leon panetta saying about water boarding and he ended u admitting that waterboarding was part of how they ended up getting to bin laden. so it was used. you still have so many people on donald trump's team who says it's illegal but possible. >> here in philadelphia the murder rate has been steady, just terribly increasing. >> so, mark, is the president right sp. >> hallie, you look at the numbers. in 1990, there were 500 murders, in 1916, 277. in donald trump's defense, the numbers have gone up very slightly in the past couple of years, but in the totality, philadelphia the crime is much lower than it was a decade or two decades ago. >> we know the president loves to talk about polls. that's been pretty consistent from the beginning. he's been talking about some that he says americans loved his inaugural speech. he's actually not wrong, right? >> you look at a gallop poll who said it was excellent or good. in today's environment, 53% sounds good. let's look at the comparison of other presidents and their inaugural addresses. in his second address it was 65% said it was good, his first speech was 81%, president bush's 62%. >> everything is relative. up next we're talking about the potential political fallout on a tax from mexican imports. what's the blowback going to be if americans start feeling the effects of that tax in their wallets?

>> it has the potential to start a trade war. one of two things happens if a tariff is placed on a product. that cost will be passed on to a consumer. lindsey graham talked about that in the higher tariff on tequila, which he said made him very sad. >> he said mucho said. >> he did. it would not be max exico payin for the wall. americans would. i don't know if vicente fox kicking at the ant hill helps or not. the question is how does it get paid for. the jury is still out on it. hopefully there will be more negotiation that goes into it. >> aisha, do you see a way that mexico could pay for it or will there be a backlash if prices of avocados and what not go up? >> no. and i think part of the problem is he's gone through trying to drive forward these executive orders and try and do the things he say he was going to do on the campaign. nothing in this plan is well thought out, the financing is not well thought out. i think he'll find out he can't just bully his way through. americans going to realize he sold us a bill of goods and we're not willing to pay for his bill of good and we're certainly not willing to pay for his call. >> we know that president trump is headed to the pentagon today -- the pentagon is making it very clear that general mattis opposes torture. donald trump is going to be speaking with not just russia but also germany, france tomorrow. how do you see his stance on torture playing out? it's already created some problems politically for british prime minister theresa may back across the pond. aisha, i'll start with you and chris, i want your take, too. >> trump has not consulted with any experts on any of these issues he's talking about. in this case we're talking about torture. he has literally running off of his gut and trying to convince us that this is the right pathway. but i think what we're going to continue to see is other leaders, members of congress, are stopping had and saying, wait a minute, we can't do that. even some of his senior advisers are saying to him that's actually against the law and that's wrong. the thing we should be talking about is how do d we end up in a situation that the president doesn't think we should be seeking counsel of his peers and advisers and other experts? >> the president has said he'll listen to the voices in his cabinet, people like mattis and mike pompeo, who have expressed real concern about torture. do you buy that? >> i don't think we should jump to conclusions about whether he's consulted or not. we have no idea who he's talking to. i think he did make se promises or charges on the campaign trail about what's he's going to do regarding torture. when you look at it, he has the same position as leon panetta. and that really does lead to a conclusion from donald trump as a candidate. this could be if you use waterboarding, it talks you to bin laden. you've got to listen to the john mccains of the world. it's really difficult to arrive at a conclusion that torture is okay. having said that, i am confident that donald trump has surrounded himself with a group of advisers, you are mentioned mattis that, will point him in the right direction. >> i hope you're right. the campaign rhetoric is not the same thing as being able to govern. >> it's not but i don't think i'm one of the few here either. >> sanctions, if he does lift sanctions against moscow put in place during the obama administration, what message does that sent? >> i think it's a good thing to improve relations with country like russia. having said that, russia has shown nothing but hostility toward us. that's why the obama administration put the sanctions in place. until we see that that hostility and those attitudes towards a dismissal of our security and process and our system of government is alleviated it, would be a mistake to unilaterally withdraw the sanctions. >> last word to you. >> i completely agree. until he gives us some room on syria and negotiating on ukraine, i don't think we need to drop any sanctions. >> i agree. >> thank you both for joining news a rare moment of agreement on our political panel at the end. i appreciate it. a live look at the national mall a week after tens of thousands of people came for president trump's inauguration, thousands of people are here for the march for life. we'll have much more. we'll right back. be ready when growth presents itself?

>> or us. if you think about it, we would incur this cost. those donald trump signature suits made in mexico, when macy's cost them they cost $300, with this 20%, macy's would have to eat it or you or me, if you wanted to buy your dad that suit, it would cost an extra $60. but made in america is not a new idea, not a new concept. if you look at the way people spend money today, nobody pays retail. everybody wants a discount. the rise of amazon.com is because people want to pay the lowest amount of money and get the greatest amount of goods. to see macy's would eat the cost, macy's just closed 100 stores. margins have shrunk, companies aren't willing to pay. i know america first is a great sound bite but people don't want to spend. it's not mexico who would incur the cost, it would be the united states. >> and we saw a walk back, a little bit of whiplash from the team saying this was just a buffet of option, this was not the final plan. >> that's sort of what's extraordinary here, maybe it's a shot across the bow but it leaves so many of us wondering how trade works, it isn't simply a back tax, a tariff. even if mexico were to be hit. it's about wages. labor would move to nicaragua, move to cuba, it could move to haiti. even if you said we're going to hurt mexican companies, we don't just import, we export to mexico. they're a trading partner. they're our third biggest trading partner in the world. the question so many people are asking, does donald trump understand the trickle-down effects? this isn't like a casino owner walking away from a deal. a 20% tax, it could be your avocados, your ford fusion, your bananas. are people willing to spend more? they're definitely not. if mexico gets hit with it, its factories could move to another country. >> virginia senator and former vice presidential nominee tim kaine is sitting down with chuck

up to donald trump against torture. >> we have a very clear position on torture. we do not sanction torture. we do not get involved with that and will continue to be our position. >> and moments ago the mexican president announcing that his meeting planned for next week with president trump has been canceled. we are on the same page with the white house. >> how surprised are you every time there is a new tweet from the president? >> this is going to be an unconventional presidency, i think you know this by now casy. and i think we are going to see unconventional activities like tweets and that's just something we are all going to have to get used to. good derek everyone. a busy day. i'm andrea mitchell in washington. president trump just arriving in philadelphia. you see air force one there. we are expecting his remarks to house and senate republicans later in this houn. he will go -- it's about a 20 minute ride from that airport in south philadelphia back into center city, where he is going to be meeting with the republicans, where they are in their retreat a. lot to talk about. he disimbarked from marine one earlier for the first time at andrews air force base and boards air force one. it's his first ride on the blue and white plane now that he is of course commander in chief. joining me, casey hunt in philadelphia where the republicans are awaiting him. first of all, kristen, the president tweeted earlier today, this was a precursor, all of this watching this sens sensed there was a likely cancellation from mexico. you have got a mexican president at record low popularity under great pressure at home to stand up to donald trump. president trump tweeting today the u.s. has a $60 billion trade deficit with mexico. it has been a one side deal from coming through mexico. >> reporter: yeah. >> but in rene years and recent months more mexicans have been leaving -- mexican people who migrated to the u.s. have been going back the other way because under economy has been getting stronger. >> reporter: well, andrea, this was part of a rather uncomfortable discussion this morning with house speaker paul ryan and majority leader mitch mcconnell. they were pressed on this very question about what this -- at that point of course we were talking about just the border wall proposal. we didn't yet have this news about the official cancel igs of this visit. but they were asked what does this do to our relationship with meksio? are you comfortable with this? and they sort of pushed those questions aside just like they did on other topic related to this. they were repeatedly asked, for example, if the border wall, if building the wall that has sparked this confrontation with mexico's president, would add to the u.s. definite simpson. they have come out and said at this retreat that there likely david muir on abc that he believes torture works but he would defer secretaries mattis and director of dci pompeo and their strong view to follow and law as long as it is the law against torture but that might revisit that. that is the message. that sends a signal to our allied intelligence services on whom we depend. certainly to the terrorists abroad who can use that tape and repopulate it of the president of the united states saying torture works. it's not something that you have heard before from a president. >> reporter: that's right. and even when we were having this debate during the bush presidency and after president obama pushed to make changes and have congress ultimately pass a law that restricted the intelligence community to using the techniques provided in the army field manual and outlawing those enhanced interrogation techniques that were used nobody said that toes enhanced interrogation techniques from torture. the controversy was over the justice department kind of bending over backwards as know very well to try to say these techniques were not torture. so the way that the president is approaching this is pretty unprecedented. frank lights' been the issue that has probably put the congressional leaders most on the spot over the last couple of days. they have essentially said look this is settled law. we have dealt with this law. paul ryan was very blunt today saying how oftentimes lawmakers will try to talk around a question, ryan was short and to the point. he said look this is settled law. we don't think it should be changed. torture is illegal. i think you know this is something where there are very definitive breaks between the president and the way he's talking about this as well as the policy he is espousing and other republicans in his own party? in fact, you brought up a point -- i noticed that when you were asking questions -- and mitch mcconnell said i think the director of the cia has made it clear he is going to follow the law and i think all of my members are comfortable with that state of the law right now. ryan leaned in and said torture is illegal and we agree with it noting legal. he could not be more definitive. he said it's illegal three times. kristen, there is a lot of discomfort as casey has point out among the republican leaders with the tweeting with the kind of language, with sort of the way things are rolling out. they have to deal with it. they have to smooth things over. what is happening hyped the scenes in the white house as they are trying to get up to speed? we now have reports that the entire top level at the state department of presidential appoint appointees, but of career foreign service people have cleared out, have resigned as of today. >> reporter: and white house pris press secretary shawn spicer was just asked about that during his gaggle with reporters aboard air force one. he said he hadn't been briefed on that yet. we are waiting for their official reaction. >> now kristen we see the president. >> reporter: yes. >> the president is coming out of air force one. this is goio become the image of the next four years of the president coming down the steps of air force one for the first time in philadelphia. his first trip. kristen, you were saying that shawn spicer was asked about this mass departure from the seventh floor of the state department. rex tillerson was there for the first time that he know of yesterday. once it was clear that he was going to have the votes for confirmation. >> reporter: to your broader point, i think there was some concern about the way in which this transition was unraveling in the sense that white house officials of the obama administration were saying that they wanted more engage men from the trump transition. so i think there is some catching up that is happening. and then the typical sort of getting your sea legs that happens whenever you enter the white house. so i think both of those things are happening at the same time. going back to what you were discussing though with casey in terms of this conversation about torture -- this is now an issue that is overshadowing this white house. we are peppering them with questions about the remarks that president trump made last night during that interview. and of course it sets the backdrop for that meeting that he is going to have with british prime minister theresa may tomorrow. you think about the relationship with the united states and mexico, the fact that that meeting has now been canceled. the fact that that relationship has now been complicated to such a large extent by the building of this wall or at least the greenlighting of the construction of the wall. and this discussion of torture i think is going to create a very complicated backdrop as well, thorny backdrop as president trump prepares to meet with prime minister theresa may who has been insistent that they are not going to engage in enhanced interrogation methods like water boarding. i think there are going to be some tough questions and we are expecting to get some questions to both of these leadest tomorrow when they meet. >> the president is inside the limo. the beast, and about to proceed to center city philadelphia from south philadelphia as i say it is a about a 20 minute ride in a motorcade. they obviously don't have to stop for traffic or any other impediment as they proceed down to the hotel where they will be meeting with the republican leaders. the speech from the president is going to precede another speech later from vice president pence and then a third speech today to the gathering, and this from the british prime minister who will then be in washington tomorrow for her first meeting at the white house. we are told they will have a joint press conference. shawn spicer on the tarmac has just told reporters on air force one there will be an attempt to reschedule the meeting with the mexican president and keep lines of communication open. they are trying to smooth this over. there was a travel pool. there had been nervousness among the white house press corps about what the traditions would be taken up by this new president and his team. but they did travel with him on air force one. the press secretary did speak to reporters. all of that is proceeding at pace. thanks to casey hunt and kristen welker. casey will be there of course when the president arrives. joining me now is the maryland congressman elijah cummings. thanks for your patients, we wanted to watch the president arrive and find out what had happened on air force one. what is your initial reaction to the cancellation by the mexican press anged by the tweet from president trump earlier today that that meeting is not going to take place? >> andrea, let me express my condolences with the passing your father. >> oh, thank you kong man. >> with regard to this, andrea i'm not surprised. you cannot bully your way around the world. clearly, there was -- signals were there that mexico is not going to pay for the wall and that president trump is trying to force them to. and i think -- and when you think about the fact that the poll numbers for the mexican president are at 12%, he probably had no choice but to cancel and so i'm not surprised. >> also we know there is going to be an executive action later today by president trump on an investigation into the so-called voter fraud claims which we know have been discredited by every fact finder and research group. what are you thinking of that? chairman chafee said he sees no reason for a congressional investigation. and if the president wants to do it on his own he has a justice department. where do we stand? >> andrea, let's be clear. there is no voter fraud to speak of. and the thing that is so insulting to me and to so many others. >> we have seen over and over again where -- is that we have seen over and over where republican legislators and governors have been denying people the right to vote. in 2014, in texas, a court found that 600,000 peo were denied the right to voteecause of all these restrictive laws and voter i.d. laws. and i had said to my colleagues if they want to do an investigation do an investigation to make sure that every person has a right to vote. and that is my concern. this is a smoke screen. this is -- it's like chasing a rabbit that doesn't exist that -- the voter fraud. but the fact that hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people are today not able to vote because of these restrictive laws, that's a major problem. that's what we should be looking at. and i'm hoping that the republicans will bring legislation to the floor of the house whereby we can restore the voting rights act because as you know the supreme court pretty much gutted it. now you have got american people and others who are being denied the right to vote. that's the bigger question. so if they are going to do an investigation, they need to do that investigation. >> the justice department has already signaled that it's not going to ask for a continuance. it's not going to to go to that hearing that was supposed to be this week on the voter i.d. law in texas. and you are also getting signals from the justice department potentially about the consent decrees with chicago and baltimoron the police department. >> yeah, yeah. >> how are you going to deal with that. baltimore, that's your turf. you were out in the he streets, you know better than anyone what's going on there. >> we are hoping that the justice department -- they delayed the court hearing on it. we expect that to be in front of a judge. i think once it's being ruled over by a judge it will be -- we'll probably be able to make some headway. but the problem is, andrea, this was a consend decree in baltimore where everybody came together, the police, the community, the religious community and elected officials, and gave a lot of testimony, came up with a plan whereby the police and the citizens could work together to make things better. and i'm hoping that sessions -- and i do expect senator sessions to be affirmed -- i'm hoping that he will not just yank the rug from under these decrees because they play such an important role particularly in a time when there is so much tension between police and our communities. >> as the ranking democrat on oversight you might be concerned what's going on at the state department. what we are hearing is mass departure of the professional levels of top people on the seventh floor. clearly they would submit their resignations as is standard for the new president but for them all to leave just as this new secretary of state not yet confirmed but on track to be confirmed is coming in it signals a real vacuum there at the state department of professional leaders. >> no doubt bichlt our state department people, i know many of them, worked with many of them, they give their blood, sweat and tears for our country. andrea, there is something happening here. what we are finding is that more and more peep are looking at some of the appointments that are being made by president trump. they are lookingt the policies that he's putting out. as a matter of fact just recently we got four different documents where we see that there has been put a gag order on federal employees. and so i think federal employees feel like they are under a gun. and they feel like they cannot do the job they need to do. so it doesn't surprise me. i think you are going to see even more of that. i think you are going to see something else. i think you are going to see more and more people going into the streets. in some countries, the people are afraid of the government. and i think people are trying to make sure that the government becomes afraid of the people. and i -- i anticipate that you are going to see more and more republican congressmen with members of their community knocking on their doris and complaining because a lot of people are scared. they don't know where we're going. they see their country changing literally by the minute. and things like torture and things of that nature, and gag orders, these are -- this is not the america and not the democracy that they want. >> as you are talking, actually, we are looking at some protests. there are protesters in philadelphia in center city philadelphia awaiting the arrival -- not that close but a few blocks away of president trump. thank you so much elijah cummings. we are following up on the issue of the gag orders because we are hearing from scientists at e.p.a. and usda and also where that they have been told not to use twitter, not to send out my scientific guidance to their constituencies and there have been halts in the past. we are trying to compare it to other administrations. but there is now growing -- a growing sense that this is an unusual so-called gag order on scientists in various departments and agencies. >> andrea, i think you have got to go, but real quick one of the things that when they put out the gag order, we have strict whistlelower laws that protect whistle blowers. when the administration put out these gag orders those gag orders require that they say they can still speak to members of congress. when you shut that down, i don't know what type of a country we are going towards but we have got to stop this. >> elimga cummings thank you sir. as you saw, president trump landed in philadelphia at this hour. he is going to address

at lq.com despite bipartisan opposition president trump says he thinks torture works. this in an interview with abc news. >> but i have spoken as recently as 24 hours ago with people at the highest level of intelligence. and i asked them the question, does it work? does torture work? and the answer was yes, absolutely. we are not playing on an even field. i will say this. i will rely on pompeo and mattis and my group. and if they don't want to do, that's fine. if they do want to do, then i will work toward that end. >> joining me now is john rizzo, former top attorney at the cia. his memoir is company man, 30 years of controversy and crisis in the cia. good to see you again. >> thank you. >> you defended the enhanced interrogation techniques at the time. you were following guidance from the justice department under george w. bush. it was very controversial. you saw the fallout on the agency from all of that. your view now about the techniques and torture and having the president of the united states use the t word, be that -- i mean, he wasn't even using a euphemism saying he thinks it works but will abide by the law. >> well, first of all, the fallout was significant, and it including falling out on me among other people about the legal side of the original problem. i continue to believe looking back at the time -- at the time, the program was legal. and as implemented and carried out, the enhanced interrogation techniques were effective in eliciting vital information. so that hasn't changed. >> that hasn't changed. that of course was disputed by the senate intelligence report. and that was very controversial. but what about what's happening now? do you now think that -- well what's your reaction to president trump and what he said last night? >> well, it was startling, to say the least, to watch words come outf the president of the united states's mouth, first of all the word torture. the whole premise, the legal premise of the original program was some of the tech teeks, while some of them were harsh like water boarding did not fit the legal definition of torture. if something is torture by definition it is illegal, it was illegal then. it was illegal then, illegal now. and regardless of whatever protectiveness or whatever criteria. to hear the president of the united states use that word in sort of an affirmative way i found remarkable. >> what is the impactan our foreign partners, the intelligence agencies that we partner with all over the world, especially in difficult areas where we can't go? >> yeah, no, i think it's going to be significant. i mean the original program generated enough controversy overseas. in that case, as i have said, we had a position, perhaps other people in this country disagree with that the program was legal. now for -- how is any foreign country going to allow us, allow the government to build another secret prison in their country when the president of the united states is announcing torture may go on there. they will never do that. >> isn't he giving a pop began de tool to the bad guys. >> oh, sure. the bad guys always claimed what we were doing was torture. now they can say they have the personal informator of the president of the united states. >> after your long career you still talk to a lot of people inside. he says when he went over there on saturday he was told by people at the agency that torture works. is that credible knowing what you know and who was there that day? >> i don't know who that possibly could have been. first of all, all of us who were involved in that program -- there are still scores if not hundreds faced what, seven or eight years of recrime nations, investigations. >> legal fees? >> legal fees, you know being called by some elements of our society torture advocates, that was me. human rights violators, goons. for anyone to say -- and i have not heard that i've heard the contrary from my former colleagues. >> what are they telling you. >> they are terrified about even the possibility that they might be asked to go down this road again after all these years. >> so there was a draft that circulated, shawn spicer said it was not a white house document. there has been reporting by others, the "new york times," the "washington post" that in fact was being circulated at a very high level but not briefed to general mattist or director of dci pompeo that they were in fact telling lawmakers that both of them were shocked by this. maybe it's being withdrawn or rewritten. but there certainly was a draft document circulating that they would be considering redefining the army field manual, reopening black sites, and revisiting torture, enhanced interrogations, or whatever? >> yeah. well, again, i just find it incredible that the cia director who is now confirmed -- no one bothered to tell him about this kind of draft circumstance lathe. i looked at the draft i looked at millions of such drafts from the nsc in my time. something like that f it was circulated at all, i can't imagine why no one apparently made the new cia director aware of its existence. >> john rizzo, thank you very much. the book is "the company man qug it's good to see you. >> thanks. as we have been reporting mexico's president canceled his plan to visit the white house next week shortly after donald trump said maybe he shouldn't have that visit. joining me now a republican polly adviser researcher at the hoover institute who specializes in immigration reform and other domestic policy. first of all your eracks from a cancellation of a visit from our third largest trading partner, a trip to mexico city that president trump took very early in his administration, there were other meetings, actually the first meeting with a foreign leader was back with the mexican president. >> there is no question that our relationship with both canada and mexico are very important, mexico in particular is a important trading partner. i'm not entirely surprised that the president of mexico has made the decision not to come given everything that happened in the last few days and frankly given the direction that u.s. policy is taking both with the executive order actions and the renegotiation or potential renegotiation of nafta. i also think the mexican president has a domestic constituency that would have been in real estate volt if he came to the united states. his approve ratings are in the 20s. i can't imagine what it would go to if he came to washinon. i'm not surprised. >> his decision could have been driven largely by domestic concerns for the mexican president. remember what happened during the campaign with then candidate trump. donald trump weapon to phoenix that very same day and gave a very tough answer immigration speech in phoenix that night. what about immigration policy in this context as you look at the executive orders agreed to yesterday? >> well, i think the executive orders were quite stark in fact. you know, they do set out the administration's policy and clearly are consistent with at least the rhetorical direction that the president took during the campaign. i think we'll have to see as we go forward as with all of these executive orders, andrea, how impactful they will be given how the administration actually implements them. for example, there are some things that the administration could do easily such as stripping federal funding from sanctuary cities. that's something republicans have been in favor of for some time. the kruk of the wall is going to be trickier because what we are talking about is where is the money going to come from. if congress proeps the money late they are year that's a separate matter but to do it exclusively by executive order i think is more questionable. we will have to see where the scope of all of this goes depending on how her administered and implemented. >> greta vas success trend asked paul ryan the speaker about paying for the wall. this was that response from paul ryan to greta, for the record, yesterday. >> today he announced that he wants to begin building that wall? >> uh-huh. >> who is going to pay for it? >> first off we are going to pay for and it front the money. i think they are various ways -- you know your question is is mexico going to pay for the wall? there are different ways of getting them to contribute to doing it and different ways of defining exactly how they pay for it. >> now we are hearing from the republican retreat today that we are talking about 8 to $12 billion and that casey hunt reported that they may have funding but that they are not sure whether there is going a pay and go or an offset. >> right, this is the question, at what point do republicans look at this and say we have a spendingroblem as well. immigration may be different. that may be an issue priority that republicans are going to be willing to spend on, republicans on capitol hill. but in general, as a general matter we are talking about an infrastructure project, talking about tax reform, we are talking about things that all could cost money. and at some point are the fiscal conservatives in congress going to say enough? we are not willing to do this as an open encheck anymore? we are going to have to see how this develops. for now i think the members on the republican are willing to give the president the enbenefit of the doubt especially on an issue like immigration. >> what about the way he managis his time and communications twitter, responding to television interviews. we can see whether he is watching fox news or the "today" show or morning joe. he then responds in kind. it does create a challenge for his communication team. >> it is a whole new era we are in andrea both for the president and his staff as well as for congressional republicans. you saw paul ryan's answer, which was basically, look, the president is going to communicate how he communicates. we don't have control over that. so in some ways it does force all of these different parties to be much more nimble and to be willing to respond to things maybe that they weren't intending on responding to. in some ways it probably makes your job more exciting, makes my job more exciting but it is unpredictable, to be sure. >> some people might say they could use a little less excitement. but who knows. >> i understand. >> lonnie chen, it's great to see you thank you for joining us. coming up we'll be hearing from president trump expected to speak very shortly to republican law makers in philadelphia. the flags are there. the podium is there. the teleprompter is there that means it is a likely to be a set speech if he sticks to it. we'll bring it to you live. stick with us. we are on andrea mitchell reports on msnbc. crest whitestrips crest 3d whitestrips whiten... 25 times better than a leading whitening toothpaste i passed the tissue test. oh yeah. crest whitestrips are the way to whiten i am totally blind. i lost my sight in afghanistan. if you're totally blind, you may also be struggling with non-24. calling 844-844-2424. or visit my24info.com. so she only earns double miles on purchasesit card. she makes from that airline. what'd you earn double miles on, please? ugh. that's unfortunate. there's a better option. the capital one venture card. with venture, you earn unlimited double miles on every purchase, everywhere, every day. not just airline purchases. seems like a no-brainer. what's in your wallet? and this afternoon later this afternoon we are expecting some white house executive action to back up president trump's call for an investigation into what he believes to be widespread voter fraud where he says he believes there has been widespread voter fraud. joining me now, chris alyssa, and gene cummings. thanks to both. chris, there has been enough fact checking, glen kessler's and others to make it clear that no one backs up this claim of 3 to 5 million people illegally undocumented immigrants voting in this election. so if it seems to be the belief of one person, and certainly those around himrying to validate that or you know back up the president. >> it's the belief of one president who what happens to be the president of a united states with a mass iive social media microphone. i thought paul ryan's comments to greta which is essentially i haven't seen any evidence of this and he clearly thinks there is. so an investigation is the right way to do it. the problem here is let's say the investigation adds nothing to what we know, which would suggest there is no evidence of widespread voter fraud. a problem here, a problem there, but no widespread voter fraud. then what does donald trump do because he has continued to insist on something that is provably false based on all the information that we have. he has been in the past not been terribly swayed by those sorts of facts. is it different if it's his administration telling him those facts? i don't know the answer to that. it seems, given that we expect an executive order on setting up some sort of investigation here on his allegations of voter fraud that we are going to find that out at some point in the future. >> jean cummings on this day alone we have the president of mexico under fire domestically, politically, disastrous popularity ratings at home cancelling the visit. donald trump having said, tweeted earlier today perhaps that visit should be canceled if mexico is not going to pay for the wall. we have the republican leadership waiting to hear from the president and saying that they will somehow pay for it but not explaining whether there will be budget offsets. it's between 8 and $12 billion for the kind of wall that has been envisioned. and the efficacy of that as a border argument remains to be seen. you haveot turmoil at the state department with the departure of all of the top ranking people whor would normally submit their resignations pro forma but are now leaving before rex tillerson who is presumably going to be confirmed next week -- before he even come to the state department and takes over. where are we on foreign policy as theresa may arrives and has to defend herself against the president's comments on torture on abc? >> you know, he said he was going to do things differently and bring change. he certainly has changed the way the u.s. and our allies have our conversations and what -- and he's changed the entire conversation around the international landscape. also with the executive orders that we now expect for tomorrow that will target middle eastern countries in terms of immigrants from there. you know, he definitely has shown he wants to be a president of action. what's confusing, though, is that there is a lot of chaos and turmoil around all of it as well. and i don't know if that's two things can blend together to become permanent change. but he is -- no one should be surprised as many of the things he has done because he is doing what he said he was going to do. and he's communicating it in a way that all of us who covered him, including chris and you andrea had to get used to during the campaign. >> and, chris, by the end of this week they will have checked the box, and he can say i promised the wall, i promised executive actions on a, b, c, and d, i've done all of those things, i've gone to the cia. you know, he can certainly be speaking to his base, to his constituency. and he has, as you point out a huge social media platform. l i think that's a great point which is he -- this is not someone who said i'm going the kind of go and fidget around the edges fiddle around the edges and make things slightly better. he -- he came in on this idea that washington is broken, it needs to essentially be razed, r-a-z-e-d in order to make it ever sort of work for people again. and he has sort of acted on that it is amazing to me, and i was away for three of these days, andrea, but donald trump has been president for right now about six days and 45 minutes. it is a remarkable amount of things he has both done, controversies he has created in that period of time. i never thought i would say this, but there is almost too much news. now, the question always with him is how much of that is strategy? how much of it is him just making calls as he goes throughout a day? how much of that -- you know, is there a method to all of this? i don't know that we're far enough -- we don't have the proper context to say so. but this is a radically different approach to politics, to policy, to governing, to being presidential than anything that we've seen in -- i'm not going to speak to how milliard fillmore presented himself but that we've seen in sort of the modern political era. >> speaking of the modern political era -- i was going to say, jean, we've got the -- the seal is on the podium now. we have got the pel prompters. i see the travel pool is in the room. at any moment we might be interrupting, but jean go ahead. >> just a brief point. there has been a lot of action, that is very true. and there have been a lot of pictures and a lot of headlines, but so far not very much has actually change that is the harder part that lies ahead. most of these events have been photo ops where he is directing the staff to begin a project or to come back to him with a report. things like that. most of these are executive memorandums, not exactly executive orders. so it has been a very exciting first week. and he's set a lot of big things in motion but the really hard work does lie ahead. >> and they do have a big transition challenge because they got a late start. they had the transition team under chris christie, and then they were precipitously fired and so they had to start all over again. in a lot of agencies it's basically home alone. now it is at the state department here with a visitor, theresa may, coming to the united states for the first time. and so many vacant cease at the state department and at the nsc. they are gearing up very slowly. there seems to be action there in the room. let's see if we have time to bring in my colleague from london, kira simmons. here on the state side visit with theresa may. what we are hearing from downing street is that she is going to talk about the special relationship and the fact that both she and donald trump came to power, came to office on a populist surge. >> yeah. >> she of course with brexit, and also he with the endorsement of brexit and with the populism that we've seen in the united states. so they have some economic basis to talk to each other. but at the same time, on foreign licy, they are not really aligned as much as one might think. they have very different views for instance towards the russians and towards vladimir putin. >> that's right. and you kind of summed it up there. theresa may, the british prime minister, would love, love to see a thatcher-/haig reagan style alliance that leads the new world, an economic future, a future where countries put their own interests first but trade very actively with each other. that's the kind of picture the british prime minister has put out there. but at the same time on every level there are issues here. there are issues over the question of the british approach to issues of torture. frankly, the approach is that it's illegal and the british don't do it. and any time they have been caught up in it they have tried to back out again. there are questions over donald trump's attitude towards women. theresa may has said very frankly that just as a female leader of a major country she says everything she needs to say in that respect. but this is a really important and extremely difficult -- diplomats will be piting their fingernails over the next two days -- visit for the prime minister and it's important for the president, too. because he essentially gets to look like a statesman hosting a world leader. or if there is a major faux pas then the object sit picture is put out to the world. >> we know they will have a joint news conference. the white house was not clear on that. the brits were waiting. they wanted it. >> yeah. >> but this will be the first joint news conference with a foreign leader here in the united states. i covered thatcher and rag app. i can tell you they were allies at a time when a lot of the otheleaders in europe and canadaame -- , there was a socialist president in france, and trudeau in canada, a liberal and there was a real meeting of the minds and hearts between reagan and thatcher, especially on going -- being strong and tough with military strength against the former soviet union but then she was the first one to say we can do business with mr. gorbachev when he took over as the third soviet leader that mr. reagan had to deal with. there are lots of difference. but i think the fact that she is a woman, the second woman prime minister in british history, and that he is a disruptor and someone who comes partly from the entertainment world does -- and a communicator, a real talent in terms of communicating his beliefs to the public through social media as well as through his former reality tv background makes people analogize it to ron reagan and margaret thatcher. >> yeah. i would add another comparison, which is that ron reagan and margaret thatcher were brilliant mass terse of alying themselves with the economic sbres interests of the working class. that is what they managed to do. thatcher is an amazing economic study because she also took on the conservatives within her own conservative party, the slow movers, the liberals as she saw them. they called them the wets. she took on the british trade union. she took on the establishment, if you like, and compare that to what donald trump is presenting himself as. and i suppose by looking at that that margaret thatcher's experience and the reagan experience, one thing you can say is that their leadership galvanized the liberal left in both countries. there were marches on the streets, there were strikes, and yet the two of them won election after election after election. now look we are not there yet with either of them. the jury is still out in both cases. but that's the kind of alliance that certainly the british prime minister would like to see. i think she'd also you know like to position herself as somebody who is intellectualizing what donald trump has to say. her speech on brexit, her recent speech on brexit, trying to set out what it means, what britain wants to leave the european union, the kind of trade that britain wants to have with the rest of the word you can see as intellectualizing the same message that the president has been putting out there, but in a different way. again, though, there are so many land mines. just that news conference while it is so crucial to the british particularly as they prepare to negotiate with the europeans, equally so what donald trump says there with the british prime minister standing next to him, how she reacts to what he might say -- again, they will be very nervous as well as very pleased that she has managed to be the first international leader to have this kind of a meeting with the new president. >> we should point out -- hers was not the first call. >> right. >> you know, there were all the other foreign leaders that he spoke with. even speaking with the taiwanese leader and upsetting the chinese. they had to set this right. my hearing from here is there were ambassadors all over town from our closest allies who were stunned as were the media, even the trump people themselves at the election turnout. so that they were not prepared. and their memos home, to home base were not predicting that donald trump would win. so there was a lot of catch up going on. going back to the thatch herb analogy, gene cummings, you know this from the past as well that thatcher really made her mark by goingp against the coal miners in the uk. and done -- and ronald reagan, the pivotal moment was his firing of the air traffic controllers after that union strike, a public union strike. and that really sent a signal. in fact many people said a signal to the russians that he was somebody to deal with, that he was so tough he would fire his own air traffic controllers. jean? >> absolutely. absolutely. donald trump said over and over again he wants to be a strong leader and he wants the world to look at america in a different way because america has a strong leader. it's interesting where donald trump might find that moment. it's likely to be different. he's come in. you know, he's a builder. t so the first people that he brings in are manufacturers. and then he brought in the labor unions, and which ones did he pick to bring in? most of them are skilled crafts and firefighters, you know, doers. and so he -- and then the next day auto manufacturers. and he has talked about the auto manufacturer workers as well. so he's taking -- it's unlikely that it will be in the same venue as margaret thatcher and ronald reagan used to demonstrate their internal strength but donald trump clearly will seize that moment when it comes because that has been a central theme of his candidacy and now his presidency. >> chris, alyssa, one of the thing that theresa mayas as a foreign visitor is going to have to deal with is the unpredict. of what donald trump may say. nobody could have predicted that he in going out to the cia would talk about "time" magazine covers and tom brady and his own popularity and how smart he is. >> or how about continuing the voter fraud idea, you know, them in the interview with david muir on abc again pointing at pictures of crowds of inaugurations. this is the thing -- it's funny you used the word unpredictable. that's what i was thinking when they were talking because it's so hard for a republican politician -- obviously we are waiting to hear what donald trump is going to say at the retreat. a politician a democratic politician, a foreign leader, a reporter, a trump aide -- the most difficult thing with him is how unpredictable he is number one. and number two how much he seems to value that unpredict. . throughout the came he talked about we were too predictable, particularly in foreign policy. that's a fine campaign idea. it's much more difficult as it relates to diplomacy particularly in foreign affairs. as you know, this steadiness or knowing what you are going to get before everybody sits down to do the photo op is at the heart of these things, a joint press conference. not knowing that i think puts these foreign leaders in some level of political peril in that you have no idea, is donald trump going to talk about water boarding and torture and how he thinks it works in a joint press conference with theresa may if he gets asked about it? what does theresa may do if that happens? as someone who watches politics for living it's utterly fascinating. as someone who sort of practices politics as theresa may or paul ryan or mitch mcconnell do, it has to be terrifying. sort of a high wire act with absolutely no net. >> working without a net has worked for him all this last year and a half. >> yes. >> i mean it's got him past a 17-person primary fight and into the white house and onto air force one today. and he is the president of the united states, about to brief his republican colleagues at this retreat, meet with his first foreign leader tomorrow at the white house. it has been an extraordinary journey. and a rocky first week. >> and i would say the high wire act works for him, andrea. you are exactly right. we have proof of that. now, we don't necessarily have proof that it will work as president donald trump but certainly as candidate trump it did. the question is, what does it mean for everyone who is not donald trump? we saw during the campaign marco rubio for a brief two day period tried to do the trump thing, the personal insults of trump. he apologized and went away from it. jeb bush did a little bit of it. hillary clinton didn't go down with donald trump in terms of the attacks and what she was willing to say. and still lost. so the question is, yes, it clearly worked for him. will it continue to work? and then what does it mean for everyone else in the political universe not named donald trump? to be determined. >> well, we are might ithe middle of this very unusual first week of donald trump. and i don't think we should reach any judgments yet.

north korea will reject the results of what it calls the forced autopsy which it says was not witnessed by north korean officials. who knows if the north korean will ever get that body back or what that autopsy will say about the cause of death. >> brian, thank you. i'm brianna keilar. "erin burnett out front" starts right now. "out front" next, breaking news, the dow hits an all time high again seven days in a row. trump taking the credit. does he deserve it? and the secret service investigating an incident tonight involving trump's mor or the cade, what happened, and trump's twitter tirade. he tweeted, deleted, retweeted. let's go "out front." good evening. i'm erin burnett. one thing going right for trump. an all-time high. these are the facts. stocks hit a record today in the midst of their best streak in 25 years. it's a dramatically different headline than the ones about chaos and turmoil in the white house. those headlines are true, but so is this one. the economy is surging. another fact. a survey at its highest level since 1984. president trump today taking credit at a boeing plant in south carolina. >> since november, jobs have already begun to surge. the president celebrating his boeing visit. but does he get the credit or would that headline be fake news? sara murray begins our coverage tonight at the white house. sa sara, the economy right now is the big bright spot for this president. >> reporter: that's right. despite president trump saying earlier this week he inherited a mess, he does have an economy with a 4.8% unemployment rate, incredibly low. when he was in south carolina today he said he would spark even more job creation but didn't say how. >> i love south carolina. i love it. >> less than a month into his presidency he's breaking out of the bubble getting back into campaign mode. >> this was going to be a place that was tough to win and we won in a landslide. >> reporter: he visited a boeing plant today. the president trying to get back to his sweet spot touting his goal to revive american manufacturing. >> when american workers win, america as a country wins, big-league wins. that's my message here today. america is going to start winning again, winning like never, ever before. >> reporter: with the administration under fire over to give him a chance. >> i think whatever he says it changes from day to day, so i don't actually believe he has the vision and ability to follow through on policy. >> reporter: strong opinions on the topic. on both sides we heard on a number of issues people are passionate about. >> thank you very much. out front, former economic adviser to donald trump's campaign, steven moore and former chairman of the council of economic advisers for barack obama, alston goolsbee. thanks to both. four weeks into president trump's term, taking credit for job growth, stong consumer confidence, surging stocks. fair? >> i think there is a trump effect, no question about it. if you look at the stock market, after a level 2016, it started to surge after the november 7th election. no question about it. and it's not unusual that a president would take credit for things that happened on his watch. he's only been in office for a month and some of these were let in motion. the big effect here, over the last week, the whole media story has been, oh, a tumultuous week for donald trump and washington, but what most americans are paying attention to is not this kind of palace intrigue we in washington pay attention to but what's going on in the real economy, and trump has had a good number of weeks so you've seen an increase in consumer confidence, small business consumer confidence, the factory orders that came out last week were strong for january. so things are looking up and it's not unusual for a president to take credit for it. >> of course they'll take credit, whether fake nudes or real news we are at an all-time record on the dow. some of the things that are of wages and jobs is what americans will look at. you know, my attitude about the obama years, yeah, the economy did pretty well, but there's really only about the top 20% that saw gains in income and the other 80%, not much. i traveled around with donald trump and we went to places like michigan, ohio, pennsylvania, and people there were saying they didn't feel much of a recovery. >> well, i would say that i disagree with that. you know, if you look at the actual data on wages, the last year's wage gains were the biggest in the middle class on record that we have been keeping track of that. i get the feeling if you look at what donald trump's doing, you know, we just had the super bowl. barack obama saves us from depression, he's been the starting quarterback for seven years, and with 30 seconds left in the game, and they're way ahead, they bring in the backup. and he's going around saying i won the game! he didn't win the game. look, we had a crisis -- >> i was hoping you would give donald trump a little credit in this interview. [ talking over each other ] >> steve, here's the thing. donald trump, say you want to give him credit. he can't take credit until things come to fruition. optimism is one thing, right? let's see what happens to those small business profits. he's done a lot of meetings, airlines, the retailers, he's met with everybody. tech companies. and here is what he has said after each one of those big meetings in recent weeks. >> they're all talking about the bounce, so right now everybody has to like me at least a little bit. but we're going to try and have that bounce continue. the auto industry just left a week ago. they were here in the same room. and they're very happy with what we're doing and -- you're going to be so happy with trump. i think you already are. >> there's a lot of you're going to like me and be happy, but he hasn't put anything on the table yet, steve. nothing. there's no tax plan. there's nothing on the table yet. >> wait a minute. i worked on the campaign and the tax plan. we have a tax plan. there will be some nuanced changes to it but everybody knows what he wants to do. he wants to lower taxes for families and bring america's -- >> is he going to put his plan on the table? he hasn't done anything yet. this is so far all talk. >> one reason for that is they've been focused on obamacare, which is another high priority for trump. but i would make this point to both of you. you know, i think the reason you're seeing a bit of a bounce in the step of the economy since the election is that trump ran a kind of pro worker, pro business platform, and you know what, businesses want pro business in washington. i'm not saying, look, i agree with you, we have to make sure regulations are in place to safeguard safety and other things like that, but just basically saying we want america to be competitive in the global economy, that's a very positive thing. i think businesses are responding in advance of some of these policies. >> i'm not against that. >> how much time does he have, alston, before he has to have legislative victories in congress? >> two things. one, i don't think he has much time. most of what you get to do as president you do certainly in your first year and probably in your first just few months. i think the more they just kind of sit around and sign vague executive orders and don't actually put out details of what they want in a tax plan, the more danger they have that they're just not going to be able to do it. >> all right. >> i agree. i've been frustrated with the pace of -- i want to see these things -- i wanted them to rush out of the gate like secretariat. i agree, alston, i think a president has a bit of a honeymoon period but the press hasn't given him much of a ho y honeymo honeymoon. but you have to get this stuff done quickly. most presidents get their agenda passed in the first six months. as you know, president obama got his stimulus plan done in the first month and a half or something like that. >> the first month. it was done by this point. >> he did come out of the gates like secretariat. the executive order that got shot down in court. all kinds of things that were secretariat-like, just not the ones you want. thank you. next, the secretary of state not staying with other world leaders for a conference in germany. wait till you see where he's staying. is it a simple logistical error or something much bigger? and an incident involving the trump motorcade on the way to mar-a-lago tonight, the secret service investigating. and on a lighter note, we'll introduce you to the guys responsible for "saturday night live's" newest star. i love how usaa gives me the and the security just like the marines did. at one point, i did change to a different company with car insurance, and i was not happy with the customer service. we have switched back over and we feel like we're back home now. the process through usaa is so effortless, humira works by targeting and helping to... ...block a specific source... ...of inflammation that contributes to ra symptoms. it's proven to help relieve pain and... ...stop further joint damage in many adults. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened, as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas... ...where certain fungal infections are common and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. talk to your doctor and visit humira.com this is humira at work. u.s. allies on things like russia. the senior administration official talking about the trip using the word reassure and reassurance three times, this just after rex tillerson's first major meeting in germany with the g-20. michelle kosinski is out front. the vice president seeking to reassure as i said, reassure, reassurance, but the president of the united states doesn't even have a national security adviser right now. how convincing can this reassurance be? >> he can try. among allies there has been worry, skepticism, in some cases disgust, for example, over the travel ban, and there's been inconsistency. i mean, for example, they see one member of the president's team like the secretary of state say things like we'll consider working with russia, if certain contingencies are met, but they turn their head and see president obama -- sorry, see president trump on television making headlines saying we would love to do a deal with russia. and saying things that just aren't consistent. i think the good thing for mike pence is he'll be talking to nato allies even though president trump during the campaign said nato is obsolete and allies might have to defend themselves, he's since changed his tune and now we've heard the administration say multiple times that at least they are committed to nato. >> and, you know, speaking of the world order, the secretary of state, rex tillerson, at the g-20 staying at a sanitarium 30 minutes away from the rest of the world leaders. the g-20 is a major event, known well in advance, right, that the state department would have planned for regardless of who the secretary was. does it speak to a lack of coordination within this administration? >> i think it points to a lack of everything being in place and you psi that throughout. there are people in top positions who are political appointees but who had decades of experience and were here for obviously multiple straights, asked to leave before those positions could be filled by the new administration. you have people within the state department who aren't sure what the policy is even going to be. so this is a little built of disorganization, although the state department says, look, tillerson has been in office for two weeks and we didn't book it until we knew that everything was going to be in place. but it points to maybe them not being 100% certain he would be confirmed. >> all right. thank you very much. richard haass author of "a world of disarray," also met with president trump during transition. the secretary of state rex tillerson staying at a sanitarium 30 minutes away from where the players are at the g-20 and bloomberg describes it as, you know, security agents in a parking lot, elderly people in wheelchairs coming for their spa treatments. is this a logistical issue or reflective of a state department behind the 8-ball right now? >> it's a logistical issue on the surface but underneath it all i think it reflects two serious things. one is the lack of support at the state department. rex tillerson is essentially home alope. there's no staff. he wasn't able to get the deputy he wanted so that's one issue. second of all, it highlights the basic issue of the relationship between the secretary of state and this white house. no secretary of state can be successful if the world does not think he speaks and speaks authoritatively for the president. let me just say every day that goes by with this sort of thing happening, it begins to create doubts and doubts are poisonous for the ability of a secretary of state to be effective. >> tillerson hasn't taken any questions on this trip as you know. he doesn't have a deputy. he hasn't had a press conference since he took over. how much time does he have? he is someone that does lend gravitas and credibility in world leaderships to the trump administration, but as you said, the runway is short. >> the president has tome power his secretary of state. the president has to go out there and show that the secretary of state speaks for him, that the two of them -- there's no daylight between them. it would also help if there was a national security adviser in place because we don't really have an administration to speak of when you start talking about national security. so these are early days, only, what, less than a month since the administration began, but they can't count on the world remaining a calm place or a relatively calm place. sooner or later, a real crisis rather than one general rated by the administration itself is going to come into their in boxes and they had better be up and running and ready for it. >> prime minister benjamin netanyahu is a very important visit, obviously, this week. and trump was asked twice about anti-semitism in america. here at his press conference is how he answered a jewish reporter's question yesterday. >> what we haven't really heard being addressed is an uptick in anti-semitism and how the government is planning to take care of it. there are people who are committing anti-semitic acts or threatening -- >> he said he was going to ask a simple, easy question, and it's not. it's not. not a simple question. not a fair question. okay. sit down. number one, i am the least anti-semitic person that you've ever seen in your entire life. number two, racism. the least racist person. >> he didn't answer the question. what do you make of that response? >> well, in what was an odd 77 minutes that was on the short list of odd moments. i thought it was a slow curve, but i thought the president -- it would have given him a simple opportunity to denounce anti-semitism, say it has no place in american society. what i couldn't figure out is whether he simply misunderstood the question, he didn't get it all. you know, i know there are those reading into it saying he politically didn't want to say certain things. i'm not prepared to go there. again, i just thought it was something of a missed opportunity to stay what needs to be said, that there's simply no place for anti-semitism in any aspect of life in this country or anywhere else. >> he did seem to take it personally, i'm the least anti-semitic person that you know. he made it about himself. obviously something that on all of these issues something he tend to do. >> again, i thought it was a missed opportunity but, you know, one thing i can bet on, he'll have another opportunity because anytime a president does that kind of a thing with the sensitive issue, you know and i know that some other journalist is going to revisit it. >> your name, richard, has been mentioned as a possible deputy secretary of state. elliott aber talked about his meeting with rex tillerson and president trump and said he thought president trump was engaged in the entire conversation, obviously that didn't work out. president trump found out that elliott abrams criticized him and wouldn't allow rex tillerson to hire him. if you were offered the job, what you've seen this week with elliott abrams, the national security adviser, would you take the job? >> well, again, i'm a great bhooefr that you don't turn jobs you haven't been offered, but don't get me wrong, i'm not interested in that position. before you take a senior level job you have to be comfortable with the conception of the job, comfortable with the sort of policies you'll be asked to represent. you've really got to be in alignment. anyone who's read my recent book, anyone who's been reading me on social media or watching me on shows like this will know that i'm in many areas, many important areas, i'm not in sufficient alignment with this president and this administration so far to accept a senior position. >> richard, there are some who say the united states is less safe right now, and when you look at foreign policy or the lack thereof, right, we don't know what foreign policy of this administration is, right, there is no syria policy thus far, his position on israel policy has completely flipped. he was for settlements, now is saying that he is -- wants a deal on that front. you see it with china, whether there's a one china policy or not. you see wit north korea. do you think the world right now is less safe than it was one month ago? >> well, the one thing i think the administration did that may have made the united states and the world less safe was its position dealing with refugees and the whole homeland security issue. more broadly, though, by move eight way from so many established positions, we've created real doubts in the minds of our friends and allies about whether we are dependable, whether we're reliable, whether what has been the case remains the case. so i don't think it's that we're in the short run less safe but what worries me is we're setting in motion dynamics and trends that over months or years will reduce u.s. influence and will mean that a lot of traditional friends and allies increasingly go their own way. and they may defer to powerful local states, they may decide to take matters into their own hands and think about developing nuclear weapons, making more independent decisions. we're not there yet, but i think we are setting that kind of historical trend in motion. >> richard, thank you very much. >> thanks for having me. next, the president today tweet, deleting, betweening, retweeting. what is the one word that was so important for him to take out? he actually censored himself? and the trumps in florida, eric and don jr. are in dubai. how much is it costing you right now for all of that to keep them safe? . this is my retirement. retiring retired tires. and i never get tired of it. are you entirely prepared to retire?

he looked presidential. everything was going his way. >> sure. he's an equal opportunity employer including more news organizes. it's a personal attack on the media. i think the public at large views the media with suspicion. i think when he attacks the media he highlights the coverage, encourages viewers to view the media and their coverage with discerning eye particularly when there are gaps in the facts like the flynn transcript and left wing commentators inserting wild speck haitian. i think when he calls out the media it encourages the public to scrutinize the public and the press and it is a win, supplements his message. >> keith, while kayleigh may have some points, i disagree on one important thing. the enemy of the people is something that would bring down an institution that makes our country great. that is deeply concerning to me. >> you're right about that. >> keith, what is your view on the effectiveness of this? kayleigh points out, people who like trump, this is what they want to hear. >> it is what his supporters want to hear but not what the american people want to hear. it's not effective. it stepped on his message today at boeing. no discipline. did same thing about the convention on the benghazi day. stepped on that message with his fox news interview. this guy is unhinged and he can't stay focused. the problem is his job now as president is to unite the country. and he has not done one thing since the election to unite the media. he's attacking everyone except vladimir putin, by the way, and this is supposed to be the time presidents have their highest approval ratings. he has the lowest gallup approval rating for any president this time in history. it's not a good start and it's his fault. the campaign is over. time to start acting presidential and i don't think he's capable of doing it. >> nia? >> on the one hand, it does bind his supporters together. this is what they want to here. this is what they're used to hearing. donald trump has to have a foil. it's donald trump and fox news and rush limbaugh versus everybody. i think his attacks on other institutions like the court hasn't worked out well for him, his attacks on the intelligence agencies as he calls them, hasn't worked well for him. as well i think american presidents have used the idea of the freedom of the press as an argument why america is an exceptional country. this idea that he and bannon have floated that the media is an opposition nal party is not in keeping with what american presidents have used. i think it's dangerous taking away that argument. it's also kind of silly and a waste of time. cnn was here before donald trump was president. we'll be hereafter ward. t"the washington post," other news organizations will be here after he's gone. it's like a broken record. kind of like what else you got, donald trump? >> is there something to be said here for steve bannon, i get it, he came from the opposition, this is how he sees the world. i understand that. but donald trump doesn't have political experience so maybe he doesn't understand the job of the media is to speak truth to power. that is our job. when you are in power, we are going to look, we are going to find, we are going to make sure. that is our job. he doesn't seem to get that. >> yeah, erin, i agree entirely about the importance of a free press. it is crucial to a democratic society. there is no argument about that. i think what president trump is frustrated with is like keith said president trump hasn't done one thing to unite the country. that is patently false. yesterday when the media was very into trump's press conference, rightfully so, it was a big moment, they did so at the expense of what was a unity moment, having coal miners in the white house, rescinding regulations, helping this ailing industry, issuing an order on black colleges and universities. these are unifying acts but left wing commentators ignore them or act as if they've never happened. >> we leave it there. i thank you for tonight. out front next, president trump's third straight weekend at mar-a-lago. his adult sons opening a golf course in dubai. a lot of that is on your bill. melania still spending most days in trump tower. president trump talking tough, putting iran on notice. what does the average iranian think about that?
