political bias. >> took a moment to hug the american flag. he did that as you can't always get what you want played in the background. ♪ ♪ justth way you look at me ♪ makes me smile ♪ ain't no reason to complicate it. steve: we're up to wednesday, june 20th. "fox & friends," another slow day yesterday. brian: nothing to talk about. brian: clips of us racketing to yesterday's news. steve: man o man. brian: florida georgia line one of their new releases. >> it's about simple. steve: all right. we're going to keep it simple today and just tell you what's going on in the news. first of all, you know, the president of the united states went up to capitol hill to talk last night to the house republicans, try to get something through he endorsed intern. hard pass passage to the u.s. rotunda said f you. didn't like that. as it turns out. mexico ever the congressional hispanic caucus heckled him, which is extraordinary as he was trying to leave his meeting. ainsley: kirstjen nielsen heckled at mexican restaurant. here we go. mr. president, don't have you kids? don't have you kids? the president has made it clear that he does not want as every american want these families to be separated. listen to this. >> we have a chance. we want to solve this problem. we want to solve family separation. i don't want children taken away from parents. and when you prosecute the parents for coming in illegally, which should happen, you have to take the children away now, why don't have to prosecute them but we're not prosecuting them for coming in illegally. that's not good we wants to end the border crisis by finally giving giving us the legal authorities to detain and remove illegal immigrant families all together and brings them back to their country. glrlg so the president after he got screamed at and, you know, his security walked him by. walked him through. he went into a closed door meeting and he met with republican house members and he said about -- he looked at both plans and said i will back either one of them. might be a mistake to not get behind one of them in particular. also brought up the fact that ivanka went up to him dad can you 1068. this his answer was this is a tough issue. politically it's also bad. it's not about politics. it's about doing the right thing. republicans want to get to the bottom of it. they want to solve it pass legislation which includes the end of separation and families. but senator schumer does not want that. he says i just want the president to sign an executive order that says this is over. why not solve the whole issue about border security and daca? because i think it's in many respects democrats seem to be getting a lot of traction from it. senator schumer tweeted like six of them. speaker ryan wants to pass a massive bill may not even pass the house and couldn't pass the senate. and suppose g.o.p. are supposedly eyeing a bill and donald trump wouldn't sign and sign it even if it made his desk. president of the united states continues to try to use separated families as hostages. anyone who believes republican congress is capable of addressing this issue ising kidding themselves. donald trump can end this crisis with the flick of his pen. and he needs to do so now. you, and not the law, are responsible for this family separation policy. g.o.p. senators and members of your own administration have confirmed. this you could reverse this terrible practice in a few minutes. but you refuse to list a finger. why would be left with 80% coming without their parents. separation wouldn't even apply because out of the 13,000 that have come, over 2,000 have come without parents. how does that solve the problem? steve: clearly chuck schumer just wants the focus on donald trump. here's the thing. if schumer not willing to fix it legislatively, how long is he willing to stand by that policy if donald trump digs in his heels and does not change anything? keep in mind the meeting brian was talking about, apparently members of the republican caucus the conference did not take questions did. not engage in any sort of discussion. he says we have to pass something. weave to take care of separation. it's too nasty. it's just too nasty. clearly members of the republican party wanted to press him on what are we going to do about this? his answer is congress, fix it with some laws. ainsley: chuck schumer is complaining because children are being separated with his families. he want the president to fix it with a stroke of a pen and is he not willing to put forth legislation to fix it. right? brian: orrin hatch with other senate republicans caused for a pause on the. it would diffuse it and get out of it because emotions are running so high. griff will have that story a little bit later. i think it would benefit everybody if the president would have took some questions yesterday and heard input from republicans. number two, if you would pick one bill and say i'm getting behind this. that is the direction a lot of his party members who are loyal to him say i know exactly what he means. steve: goodlatte bill has no chance of passing. the other has a slim chance. brian: mitch mccaul? steve: third way something we heard from john cornyn and mark meadows yesterday, they are introducing bills just to address exactly what we are taking about the separation of the family. ainsley: no want wants the celebration of kids uvmentd democrats and republicans need to get together be on the same page and figure this out. brian: let's figure out what you didn't see yesterday unless you picked it up streaming. not enough people were focusing on what was happening. this electric hearing with michael horowitz who is the ig and in front of republican and democrat house members. 70 strong. who got about 5 minutes each to question him. this thing went over five hours. and we did get two more names of the so-called unnamed lawyers and unnamed fbi agents. that were anti-trump. i find it hard to believe that if a democrat watched this, and just read the texts out loud, they wouldn't be just as upset as republicans. that the leadership of the fbi. ainsley: the question is did his hate, did peter strzok's hate for this president, for president trump launch the fbi-russia probe? if you look at the time line it looks suspicious. because comey recommended no criminal charges against hillary clinton on july 5th, 2016. a few weeks later, july 28th, the fbi initiated the russia investigation. then a few weeks after that on august 6th, strzok, leading the russia investigation, sent these text messages with his lover, lisa page and she texted him you are meant to protect the country from a menace. steve: so the ig report is what sort of impact was strzok's role in the hillary clinton email debacle? so here's an exchange between mr. goodlatte of virginia and mr. horowitz of the department of justice. >> each institution has he gained in repeated stonewalling of congress' constitutionally man at a timed oversight. the infamous text from peter strzok saying we will stop president trump from taking office, which we received on the day of your report's release is a prime example. do you believe this text shows political bias? >> i think as we found it clearly shows a biased state of mind. >> do you believe the political bias shown by this text had an effect on the issue in yalings of the russia investigation? >> that's a matter we have under review and are looking at right now. steve: that particular passage between strzok and page where is he not going to become president, is he, we are going to stop him. that was without a doubt the most damaging evidence to suggest bias with these fbi agents. and now we know that referred for investigation. nonetheless, to mr. goodlatte's points, the congress wound up with that text the day the ig report came out. you know, apparently, they had members of congress and the congressional investigators, they had the texts before it they had the texts after it. but for some mysterious technical reason that particular text message was missing until the day of the ig report came out. brian: the way trey gowdy was able to drill down and get to that point is amazing. that's why he is going to be so missed. is he really zeroing in and pressed horowitz, at the end of it how could you possibly say there was no bias here. if you go into either report you can't possibly close it and say there is no bias. steve: he said there was bias. there was a lot of bias at the fbi. no doubt about it. but they said ultimately the bias did not impact the ultimate decision whether or not to prosecute hillary clinton. >> we will be talking about these stories and so much more in the headlines. ainsley: that's right. outrage now in california asous of force rules. the bill would elevate the standard for using deadly force from reasonable to necessary. pro-police groups say it could make officers hesitant to approach suspects out of fear that they could be prosecuted later on. >> it always blows me away when law enforcement fear for their life only when they are facing black and brown people. ainsley: the measure is now headed for a second committee vote. north korea now preparing to send the remains of 200 service members killed during the korean war. more than 36,000 americans died in that war. close to 7700 remain unaccounted for. about 5300 of those that were lost in north korea, the exact time of the handoff is still in the works. and it comes after president trump and kim jong un's historical meeting this month in singapore. president trump heading to minnesota today. it's his first visit to the land of 10,000 lakes since taking office. the president will hold a round table event with representatives from the mining and steel industry, followed by a rally in duluth. president trump will be joined by republican congressional candidate pete tariff who is running in a democratic district u that jet jet that jet is parked at laguardia right now. the trump jet. big one that still says trump. it's just right there. mean while it's 6:12 in new york city. a lot of talk about what's happening in our southern border on our southern border. what's it really like? griff jenkins has been on the ground there getting a first-hansd look with customs and border patrol and his report is coming up next. brian: you know my dogs rocky and polo. are they really smarter than cats.

chief padilla has brought us where 17 migrants have been stopped, apprehended for crossing illegally. griff: chief, what do we have here? >> what have you here is a group of illegal aliens primarily composed of family units and potentially some unaccompanied children. griff: chief, frightened coming as uncompanied minor. >> she has heard that we treat them right. >> she has heard that we treat them right. so this gentleman coming from guatemala. zero idea on zero tolerance policy. >> will these children be separated right now from their parents? will it happen at the center? what will happen to them? >> absolutely not. they are transported to the processing center. at that time we start running checks on the aconsults adults, see if there any criminal history, any immigration history. they are processed accordingly. if they are eligible for prosecution, we will prosecute the adult that's have entered illegally. when somebody is put through the process of prosecution, they are temporarily separated from the children. just like any u.s. citizen would be. it's a difficult situation. not idea but we reached numbers that have become a crisis. we need to get congress to do something with the immigration law and make sure that we can address the situation: these people are not trying to evade the border patrol. they are actually looking for us to turn themselves in. and what happens with that is if there is no consequence to illegal entry. it keeps growing and growing and growing. then the calls come in. more illegals atimothying to cross. and the chase was on. >> right now this is a pursuit of an agent. sensor set it off and we are following up on this right now. >> these five were a group of 13 that the helicopters spouted. they are actually still working some of the groups. of course, we chased one back. that's what we call a turn back. >> that's what we call it turn back. when they make it back into mexico. >> they got away but at least you turned it back. >> it's a turn back. he will be back and we'll here. steve: there is a story out this morning the attorney general of the united states jeff sessions is considering using d.n.a. testing to make sure that the children match the people who say they are their parents. brian: desperate situation. john kelly has the most experienced. in charge of southern commands leaders saw this as a problem. knows the countries involved. thinks the ultimate answer those country cracking down on citizens before they leave the country. steve: suggested suggest off aid to the nations that do not cooperate. meanwhile, speaking to the united states, the u.s. is out of the u.n. human rights council. >> for too long the human right council has been a protector of human rights abusers and assess pool of political bias. steve: white house national security advisor john bolton will be joining us promptly to react to the news. ainsley: we told you about the principal sparking outrage inviting anti-cop extremist to career day. an officer whose kids went to that school will join us next. for this new stepdad, caring for his daughter as if she's his own is an act of mutuality. learn more or find an advisor at massmutual.com ♪ at massmutual.com i'm about to start the hair, skin and nails challenge. so my future self will thank me. thank you. i become a model?

[siren] steve: well, we got some quick headlines for you. a water main break flooding the mandalay bay hotel in las vegas overnight. water pouring onto the first floor of the convention center forcing a thousand people to evacuate. crews working through the night to clean up the mess. the world's largest airline getting back on track following a week full of cans sell legs. computer glitch forced american airlines regional carrier to cancel 2500 flights. bug cancelled flights. they hope to be getting back on track. brian: back to pen and paper. chicago public school principal suddenly retiring after outraged parents by inviting antipolice extremist to speak to elementary school students on career day. our next guest's children previously attended that very school active law enforcement officer. he was also a member of the local council originally elected the principal. father in and dough flores joins us now fernando flores joins us now. he went off the rails in what way. >> he started attacking the police. the audience he was speaking to because up in wild wood the predominantly the city workers fire department, police officers, half of those kids in those classes are police officers' children. when you tell these children that your parents are killers and they are abusive and that they are racist. obviously somebody is going a little bit to heart. these children were very upset. went home and told their parents. it just snowballed and escalated at that point. brian: evidently if you look at his social media it's pretty apparent how he feels after an officer was killed he posted online f him and f his entire family. he also posted the term cpdk which apparently stands for chicago police department killer. so he is pretty clear in what he believes. so, why was it necessary to book him as a poet? >> that's a good question. especially he touted himself as a poet and activist. okay. that's fine. i don't understand how lucrative that can be. but to take off on a tangent and attacking the police and, again, telling the children that their parents are killer is absolutely incorrect and his anti-beliefs, police bias not only here in chicago but across the nation and it's dangerous at this point where we are at. brian: so the principal has retired. was that the right move? >> i think she did what she thought was best for her. brian: because it was going to get worse? >> i couldn't see it getting any better. brian: right. what is your sense about grade school kids? i will never forget ron covic who was pretty angry about the vietnam war spoke to our class when i was in grammar school and basically trauma tided the entire place. because of his views on war. i mean, what -- should there be a screening process before anyone is booked like they have in college? >> oh, absolutely. everybody needs to be vetted. i mean, how easy is it to find this kid's name and look him up on facebook and find out exactly what he is about, what he is promoting and see what his rhetoric is. brian: what are the parents saying? have you heard a lot of people rally behind you guys or the other way? >> oh, no. absolutely. everybody -- it's very positive. wild wood is a very tight knit community and they all came together because they know it's for the betterment not only for their children but for their neighborhood. brian: i understand that it is becoming the murder -- chicago has become the murder capital of the country. what is your message to those on the outside. even those people watching in washington right now. what do you men and women need. >> we had 41 people shot. we had nine homicides. none of those are police-involved. how is that the police -- how are the police the problem at this point? i think together the community together with the police need to come to some kind of accord. i'm not really sure -- there is no clear cut answer at this point. but, something needs to be done. brian: national guard. that could be the answer. the president talked about that when he was a candidate. fernando flores, thanks so much. >> brian, you take care. brian: just know we don't echo those sentiments here and clear from anyone watching. ambassador nikki haley ripping the united nations yesterday as the u.n. withdrawals from the human rights council. listen. >> for too long the human rights council has been a protector of human rights abusers and cesspool of political bias. brian: john bolton here to react live next. parents brawling on the sidelines of a girl's softball game?

>> i thought she was exactly right. mic pompeo was right on target as well. this decision in many respects has been decades in the making. the human rights council its predecessor the human rights commission were really not places where human rights was a priority. right decision to defund the human rights council and the high commissioner for human rights and something i think that goes to the broader question of american sovereignty. you know, we are actually self-governorring in this country. we have the constitution. we make our share of mistakes and we correct them. we don't need advice by the u.n. or other international bodies on how to govern ourselves. >> so, john, officially leaving bias israel and, in fact, between the years of 2006 through '16, this commission condemned israel 68 times, condemned sierra 20 times mghtd and condemned iran six times for comparative purposes. as well, it is raising some eyebrows us pulling out of this council because it follows one day after their high commissioner criticized the united states over president trump's immigration policy, separating families. >> it had nothing to do with that. this decision was made by president trump weeks ago, followed long decision-making and review of the human rights council's performance. and as i say, it's something that reflects a widely held view in the united states. one reason why in 2006, when i was up at the u.n., we voted against creating this council because we said it was not adequately reformed. it would not change its behavior from its predecessor human rights commission. and the last 12 years have simply proven that i think what mike pompeo and nikki haley announced yesterday was exactly the right thing. it does have these broader implications for american sovereignty around the world. you know, we did talk about israel because it is singled out unfairly. in many respects, israel the saying goes canary in the mind shaft in the united states. countries that attack israel do it because they think it's easier, much of their criticism is really aimed at us. ainsley: many people watching that live in the middle of the country, just trying to get dressed for work this morning. they don't know what this council is. they don't know what this commission and committees are. will you just in layman's terms tell us for those folks watching never heard of this council what exactly it means for them at home? >> i think getting off the council is an assertion of american determination to stick by its constitution. and not to recognize that there is some higher authority at the u.n. whether it's the council or the high commissioner for human rights to judge our performance or to give us advice on how to implement the constitution. we're perfectly capable of doing that. ourselves. we make our share of mistakes and we correct our mistakes. that's what this is about. self-government. brian: john bolton, we know the drama happened a couple of weeks ago as the president of the united states went to singapore to meet with the north korean leader. i know you were there every step of the way. what would you say is the most encouraging and discouraging thing that happened during the singapore summit? we know that the north korean leader is meeting with all world leaders maybe for the first time. he was in china a couple of days ago. what did we get out of that? >> well, i think the president made it very clear to kim jong un. he fates a decisive and dramatic choice. whether after decades of development, north korea is prepared to give up its nuclear weapons program. its chemical and biological weapons. its ballistic missiles. and turn away from that approach to its international relations. and, if it does, it can have a very different future. brian: what do you think? if they were willing to do this for the first time in your career? >> well, they have said they would do it. i think now we will see secretary mike pompeo and others meeting with them, discussing it with them and we will find out soon enough, i think, whether they have made this strategic decision. steve: well, if they do then eventually the sanctions come off. at least some of them. how close are we to that. >> well, i think the first move here is really in -- for north korea to make. they said they want complete denuclearization. now we will have to talk about how to achieve that i think you will see diplomatic engagement proceed very quickly. president trump has been quite clear. he doesn't intend to make the mistakes of past administrations. so, lengthy delay and talks i think are not in store. i think we would like to move quickly. if they are serious, north korea should want to move quickly, too. brian: if they are not. sanctions go back on and we urge the world community to do the same. what if the genie is out of the bottle and they won't? >> well, i think the presidents had made it very clear that they are facing a choice. and until we get real evidence, palpable, concrete steps of denuclearization. all the sanctions will stay in force. we are urging everybody to continue them. and we will watch very closely what north korea not only says but what it does. ainsley: proof is in the pudding. thanks so much. john bolton, we appreciate you being with us live. a convicted rapist caught on camera trying to kidnap a jogger arraigned from hospital bed. gordon lyons pleading not guilty to attempted kidnapping and assaulted while covering his face with a. she lyons was driving down a massachusetts street when he pulled over and tried to snatch a woman that was jogging by. she fought back, someone watching called the cops. lyons was convicted of sexual assault back in 1978. fired fbi director james comey now firing back at hillary clinton. >> even at this late dates she doesn't understand what the investigation in her case was about. it was not about her use of a personal email system. it was about communicating about classified topics on that system. >> comey responding to clinton who tweeted, quote: but my email as her reaction to news that comey once used his personal emails for fbi business. brian: he might have done something very similar. james comey always a million miles above it. i'm sorry, you still have more to read?

steve: i'm doing okay. why has food stamp enrollment dropped to 8-year low. >> i will tell you, steve, first, i have to say the dramatic reduction of 2.2 million food stamp recipients in the first 18 months of a donald trump presidency is a step in the right direction because we know that a family of four receives an average of $465 a month in food stamp benefits. we know that's just not enough to sustain a family. and so it's a win because these folks are getting back to work it's a win for the president. it's a win for the nation. i think there are couple of factors that contribute to that dramatic reduction. i think the president has unleashed free enterprise. unleashed free enterprise by implementing rules, by cutting federal regulation. by signing the tax cuts and jobs act. that did exactly what it was intended to do. steve: and, marc, absolutely. and speaking of jobs, right now there are more jobs than people and we have some stats we are going to put up on the screen. right now 223,00 223,000 jobs ad in may. labor participation rate has gone up as well. so, if people want to find a job, there are jobs out there. also, at the same time, mark, i understand the administration has clamped down on food stamp fraud. >> yes. the administration is doing a great deal of work both at the federal and the state level. as you may know in april of this year. the president signed an executive order strength the workforce requirement across all the agencies, including the usda and hud. those things certainly contributes to where we are and as the stats show, steve, we have got a workforce participation rate of 62.7%. and i believe it's climbing. and let's not forget we have the lowest unemployment rate for african-americans in recorded history. steve: all right. put it all together, fewer people need assistance. of course, nibble who needs it, the government program is there to help them. marc little, the vice chairman of the center for urban renewal and education. thank you for joining us live from l.a., sir. >> thank you for having me. steve: you bet. still ahead on this wednesday, jason chaffetz is going to be joining us. we are going to be talking about the ig report. acting director thomas homan talk to him about what's going on on our southern border and congressman from florida ron desantis. a busy two hours. booming economy is helping these businesses to thrive and they are helping our veterans in return. you will hear their stories coming up. thumbs up. oh, and since the chevy equinox and traverse also won chevy is the only brand to earn the j.d. power dependability award across cars, trucks and suvs-three years in a row. phew. third time's the charm... ♪ we are seeing more jobs higher wages and a surging economy. so how are entrepreneurs taking advantage of this economic boon or are they. >> co-founder of strike force energy and former navy seal and the founder of troops direct. thank you both for being here. so good to see you again. tell us about the transition to the battlefield to the business world. the economy is booming. has it been pretty easy for you thunder administration. >> it has been and i think the thing is, i mean, the policymakers obviously make the policies and put this and as us entrepreneurs throughout we're the boots on the ground type guys pushing this and taking the what they give us and leeway into things and actually implementing that and driving and helping the economy. ainsley: when i introduced you i totally ignored this amazing suit. are you selling this, too. >> no, this is a nice suit from shineesty. they are great guys the. steve: americans love to support our vets when they start a business. have you found that haven't you? >> yes. typically, i think it's two thirds of americans typically like to buy from veterans or american-made companies. it's a huge number. and then, you know, we have a great product but also we have a social mission impact. giving back to, you know, what we do with troops direct. and other organizations we have partnered with throughout the years. brian: aaron, tell me about troops direct and how it's been affected as people have more disposable income. >> troops direct is the only nonprofit of its type. we supply american forces around the globe with any critically needed items that they can't access through their supply chain. so no cookies and candies; things like medical equipment, helmets, whatever it is. we can get it to any american around the globe. steve: what do you mean helmets? they can't get helmets? >> >> sean, why don't you comment on that. >> sometimes it does become difficult getting a newer helmet and things. that's actually a team wendy helmet. matt box skin one of the within companies i own. we do innovative production we sell back to the public. >> the public thinks our service members have everything they need. what really happens is so many forces, especially the special operation units deploying so fast nowadays, we see that often what they need they often can't get we are supplying it to free for them. ainsley: strike force energy add it to water. >> summer give back campaign we have a discount code that's send matching every order from now until labor day. so if you buy a box, we are donating a box. donate it to troops direct and send it down range. steve: thank you very much. sean matson and aaron from troops direct. it's the flavor of freedom. >> that's right. >> before we go. i want to present all of with you -- ainsley: god bless you. thank you. >> only go to our closest and "fox & friends" has been with us since day. ainsley: thank you, guys. thank you for what you do for our troops. brian: what will republicans and do. we will discuss it with chafin chaffetz. when did you see the sign?

>> i think as we found it clearly shows a biased states of mind. >> do you believe the political bias shown by this text had an effect on the initiation of the russia investigation? >> that's a matter we have got under review and are looking at right now. steve: okay. so, how would you grade his performance at answering the questions from the lawmakers? >> a-plus. we have -- yeah. the inspector general, i think, demonstrated you can do a serious investigation without compromising. it didn't leak out in advance. and he has now demonstrated some things that are really going to play out much more serious than. steve: like what? >> it's very difficult to prove somebody -- you know, when you look at intent and what they are going after. very difficult to prove why you didn't do something. steve: right. jason jason it is much more easy to demonstrate and prove why did you something. did they start allocating funds? did they actually start spending money? did they issue subpoenas? all these types of things are under consideration people have been referred to the office of responsibility that's been in motion for a couple months. why are these people still working there? i think the seminal question is why do you have a security clearance? if you don't have a security clearance you are done that day. they have known about this for a long time. ainsley: taxpayers are paying for it did you hear that strzok was allegedly escorted out of the fbi. steve: still working there. >> they have rights as federal employees. i'm not saying it is right. but they have rights. 30 day, 60 day reviews. they can appeal. they can go through a very long extended process that may have started months ago. brian: amazing he wants the scrutiny and they went through who is left, comey fired, mccabe fired, had lied. criminal referral. page gone. you have baker who is gone. now peter strzok in particular and lisa page we know. yesterday we also found out about fbi attorney number two. it was anonymous. did some heinous things and agent number 5. they are kevin kleinsmith and sally moyer. why do you think their names are secret and still some others are yet we know the other? i think what you have seen was mark meadows and jim jordan have really been kind of spear heading flushing these people out. serious allegation out there. serious question were the 302s the investigative document they are looking at and where is some of their testimony? did they actually get manipulated? steve: change it. >> did they change along the way? now they have asked the inspector general to go back and look at that mic lee, if you go back and look at the senate, he flubsd out of that the inspector general, it took four iterations, he actually had to go to the department of defense to extract out. this is the fbi. they couldn't extract their own emails and own text messages? come on. nobody believes that. steve: a number of your former colleagues on the republican side said, you know, the most damaging and damning of all the text messages was released to the department of -- from the department of justice to the congressional republicans the day that the ig report came out. that was, hey, is he not going to become president of the united states, is he? no. we'll stop it. >> the inspector general does this about the clinton investigation i still think they were wrong to not prosecute her. did they engage in fisa abuse? did they go and get warrants? that's a work in motion. been in motion for 8 or 9 months. that's where you ultimately may see people in handcuffs. brian: inspector general says confirms, reviewing where strzok's antibias impacted the launch of the russia probe which goes back to what rudy said yesterday. it was launched under false premises. >> remember, jim comey he is the one that actually made the decisions about whether or not to prosecute. because the white house was compromised. because president obama said stuff that was inappropriate. because the attorney general loretta lynch acted inappropriately. those are all things, that's why i think comey comes out of this looking worse than ever. he is in trouble. ainsley: let's talks about immigration. oh my gosh, we have seen all these images of parents being separated from kids. nobody wants that what do your former colleagues need to do this fix this. steve: tried to fix this back in the day. >> i had asylum reform bill that passioned out in march 2015. they never brought the bill to the floor of the house. steve: did that address a separate issue it? >> did. i went back and looked at the press release i put out. we want to accelerator the reunification of children and parents and fix asylum reform. here's the problem in congress. i'm very critical of our own republican leadership. vote. it's one thing to go out and talk about these things. and every time you get a comprehensive package, then there is something that everybody hates about it. bring it up and vote. let the will of the congress work its way. ultimately, president trump gets to make this decision because there is no way they are going to pass a veto proof bill. steve: jason, last night the president told the republican conference have you got to pass something. and regarding it he said we have to take care of separation. it's too nasty. too nasty. >> leadership repeatedly makes the mistake of thinking that anything that comes up for a vote, that they are responsible for passing. i don't think so. i think you need to put those bills, those individual questions up. let people vote on them. steve: on the report. >> if they fail they fail. get on the record. enough of people grandstanding and heckling the president. brian: you need organization. if a president would pick a bill. important for the president to pick one so they know where they stand. >> they need to write it down on a piece of paper. brian: the president has flipped and left them out to dry for example on the budgets. >> i don't think so. if you go back and look. brian: on friday? >> explain to me exactly what these bills are. you know, they are not. steve: one of them is being written right now. ainsley: are the democrats going to sign it? schumer said the legislation is not the way to go that the president needs to deal with this. >> in concept, if you take a base bill and then have amendments that are offered into it, let the congress work its will. ainsley: what would work to get republicans and democrats on board. >> everyone wants to accelerator the idea. they don't like the separation. nobody likes that. ainsley: can you do a bill just the separation issue. >> you are going to create thin sennive then to not go to the ports of entry. look, if you are in el salvador and you want to have your family together and claim asylum, go to the united states embassy in el salvador. but, democrats are never going to join in that effort. they want people to come up and get into the country. brian: what's frustrating the border patrol they know they are gaming the system. they know how to do it. refugees desperate being chased by gangs, okay. others who say i know how to get you in. and that's what -- guess who knows that, john kelly, because when he was a marine he had command. he met with these heads of government and said have you got to stop these people from storming your border. then he becomes homeland security secretary he knows it better. it might come to the point where we have to separate families to send a message that this has got to stop. mark walker said this and tell me if you think it's true. there is a storm brewing off the coast. if we don't handle this in the next four to five days this would stick through november. republican north carolina. is he right politically? >> is he right. if you look at the congressional calendar. by the time you get to the end of july, they are pretty much not in session until the election. brian: this is what keeps it in everybody's mind. >> this is what keeps it in everybodiens mind. that's what senator schumer is saying is very dangerous. remember what secretary kirsten said 600,000 people on the backlog case. they know how to game it. the surge started under obama. we passed in the house and got it passed judiciary committee back in 2015 but they did he ever did anything. steve: what do you make of the tone on capitol hill yesterday. for instance it, looks like an intern used the f word. f you president trump. and then have you got members of the -- one or two members of the congressional hispanic caucus heckling the president of the united states. >> i saw like six of them. they knew exactly what they were doing. republicans meet in the capitol, what's called hc 5. they went and staked themselves out. they had their signs. such an immature bunk move. they knew exactly what -- planted themselves in front of cameras. it's a scorched earth philosophy from the democrats. just trying to embarrass -- i think they embarrassed themselves. we are a more civil society than that. brian: rudeness from roberts de niro to celebrities to lawmakers. everyone feels like fourth graders and learned how to curse for the first time. >> it's the resist movement viva -- did i get that right? brian: we don't know that person's name. we are soon going to find out. ainsley: that was the lawyer. >> congressional investigators ought to know it remember what plays out now. have you devin nunes, trey gowdy john ratcliffe. they have got to receive documents back from the department of justice. when they bring up mr. wray. and the deputy attorney general next week. fascinating. here is strzok who wants to testify playing the victim card. brian: how do you play the victim card? we got your text. steve: someone might get impeached at the department of justice. >> 1 minutes after the top of the hour now. outrage in rafael as lawmakers are overhauling use of force bills. the bill would elevate the standard for using deadly force from reasonable to necessary. could make officers hesitant to approach suspects out of fear they could be prosecuted later. >> it always blows me away when law enforcement fear for their life only when they're facing black and brown people. ainsley: measure is now headed for a second committee vote. the u.s. navy is dropping live bombs right here in the u.s. it's happening in ocala national forest down in florida. north of orlando. theavy training exercises started on monday and are scheduled to last through tomorrow. the explosions may scare wildlife out of the forest. steve: scares me. ainsley: on to nearby roads or neighborhoods. if you are driving in that area be careful. brian: look out for the baboons. ainsley: president trump is heading to minnesota today. it's his first visit to the land of 10,000 lakes since taking office. the president is going to hold a round table event with representatives from the mining and steal industry followed by a rally in duluth. president trump will be joined by republican congressional candidate pete stabber who is running in a traditionally democratic district. talk about embracing freedom. president trump hugs the american flag after giving a speech to business owners in washington. the president clapping as he was walking off the stage at the national federation of independent businesses. not the first time the president has taken the flag in his arms. did he it during a campaign rally in tampa back in 2016. brian, would you like to make another comment?

steve: sounds handy. grilling on the hill. inspector general michael horowitz unveiling a new bombshell on day two of the testimony. >> we did not have confidence that the decision of deputy assistant director strzok to prioritize the russia investigation was free from bias in light of his text messages. steve: the inspector general admitting his team is investigating texts sent by anti-trump fbi agent. that man right there, peter strzok. and they -- and whether they influenced the russia probe. this as we learn strzok has been escorted from fbi headquarters a couple of days ago. our next guest questioned horowitz on the hill yesterday. house oversight committee member congressman ron desantis. good morning to you, congressman. >> good morning. >> you know, it was jaw-dropping for the inspector general to admit, yep, there was bias. in fact, there was a lot of bias with these fbi agents. >> and the bias infected what strzok was doing. i mean, did you go back to the spring of 2016, donald trump beats ted cruz, indiana primary. nomination. what did strzok say to lisa page, pressure now begins to bring the clinton investigation to a conclusion. he was looking and saying we have got to stop trump. he was the one who did things like edit comey's statement onto remove gross negligence. he opens up the counter intelligence investigation against trump's campaign. based off almost nothing. and then a week after he does that is the infamous message that we got for the first time with the ig saying no, no, no. trump won't win. we'll stop him. how will we stop him? he answered that question the next week when he texted lisa page and said we can't take the risk of a trump presidency. we need an insurance policy. so, this russia collusion thing was infected by bias from the start. the legitimacy of this thing is gone. and i think that that was very plain to see for the american people with horowitz' testimony. strzok made a conscious decision in the fall campaign to not pursue hillary's emails because he was trying to further this collusion narrative. steve: right. the ig did say there were five fbi agents who were super anti-trumpers and, in fact, he has referred them for investigation. all five worked on the hillary case. but, congressman, it's hard to understand how if somebody is so biased, and they are running the investigation, how that could not impact the outcome in this case whether or not to go after hillary clinton criminally. >> of course. i mean, look. he is there h editing the statement that comey gave saying well, actually, we don't know if foreign actors hacked into the email when that was the fbi's view is that that had happened. he was trying to sanitize the statement to clear a path for her to win. and then obviously, how he handled the so-called russia stuff. he was really responsible for creating this narrative, which many of us believe has been a phoney narrative that carried on to donald trump's presidency. there was a lot of leaking, a lot of media hysteria. this guy, peter strzok, has done more damage to the institution of the fbi than probably any agent in modern times. he really helped alter the political dynamics in this country. donald trump has gotten a heck of a lot done. he has had to deal with this for over a year and a half. it's unfair. steve: you mentioned the leaks. mr. horowitz did say that he is still doing investigations in to leaks. into james comey. into russia as well. but, regarding peter strzok, his attorney has offered him up to come to congress and testify what was going on. how do you think that's going to go? >> well, go ahead, make my day. i would love to have that i would note he did testify in front of the inspector general and the inspector general said he did not find strzok to be credible at all in a number of different instances. that his explanation just didn't wash. i mean, when he was asked about the insurance policy text, meeting in andrew mccabe's office the deputy director said i'm not sure. i don't remember that meeting. he played dumb on i was not credible in the eyes of the ig. i think if he were to come before the congress i think it would be nationally televised theater where this guy was probably tripping all over himself. i definitely welcome it. and i think that he should do that. i also think he should lose his job, steve. why is he still getting a paycheck from the taxpayers after all that he has done, all the damage that this guy has done with his bias? steve: a lot of people are asking the same question. congressman, thank you very much for joining us today from statuary hall on capitol hill. >> thank you. steve: what do you think about that email us at friends@foxnews.com. she is supposed to be fighting for good. why is democrat showing off poster of wonder woman lassoing a police officer. there is a new warning about video games this morning. those game are as addictive as drugs. how can we handle it?

>> one of the interesting things when that ig report came out a lot of people wanted to spin it saying they didn't have a problem with bias in the fbi. in yesterday's testimony and in the day before in the senate the inspector general michael horowitz repeatedly talked about the problems posed by the brazen and extreme bias some of the key agents in the clinton email probe, which happened to be the same agents involved in the russia probe exhibited. while it might not have posed too much of a problem with the clinton email probe, while he couldn't determine whether their bias in favor of hillary clinton actually impacted their decisions, he was reticent to say that when it got to the russia probe. that is under investigation now. he specifically said bias was problematic for the russia probe. that is interesting. >> if you read the 500 pages executive review, fbi agent two. we find out two names yesterday worth pursuing. kevin klein smith was attorney number two, sally moyer, agent number five. said horrible things about people that followed donald trump. that he is a dope. and used a "r" word to describe his mental capacity as well as his followers. if there was a script in a "law & order" episode i would say too deliberate. where is the subtlety? this is unbelievable. i just wonder how much else needs to be recovered? >> right. of course one of these people involved in this was praising hillary clinton and he was the person, he or she was the person going in to interview her about her mishandling of classified information. that is really problematic when you see people having that level of bias but i was a little concerned we just didn't get these names first off. public service does not give you protection from being held accountable for what you're doing. i think people have a right to know who you are, where you currently are. we learned two of the three other people, other than peter strzok and lisa page were also involved in the russia probe. we don't know who they were. if they're still involved and what is being done within the fbi to make sure that bias doesn't further impact that investigation. brian: right. you have to wonder why peter strzok is still working there. lisa page is gone. baker is gone. comey is gone. mccabe is gone. others have left. the whole higher echelon running the fbi has been left on their own or been fired and one is on a criminal referral but peter strzok walked out but still getting paid. why is that? >> well, not just that, the last 10 months i think he has been working in hr, what i think they have told us. human resources seems like an odd place to send your number two in counterintelligence who was caught having an affair with a colleague, has to violate so many fbi personnel policies, to be sent to a safe place in human resources. to get now what seems like a paid vacation is not holding him accountable for his missteps. brian: poly, i want believe, president referred to it, people are not covering this more. this is not conjecture and hyperbole. these are texts and facts. surprised there is not more coverage. >> all the top leadership has had to step down or been fired for this. this isn't an imaginary thing this is happening at our fbi and it seems like something that people left and right should care about, having accountability at our nation's top law enforcement agency. making sure we can trust them when it comes to political investigations after they made so many missteps for both the hillary clinton email probe and the trump russia probe. brian: you just wonder where it is going now because next week or the week after we get peter strzok there. next week we get the deputy attorney general out in front. the word that he is having, rod rosenstein and with the leadership in the house is epic. in fact they are saying this week if you don't turn over things, we'll look to impeach you. they're not turning over things. this could end up with a judge this week. >> people talk about constitutional crises. this is the closest we are to a constitutional crisis, the refusal of the department of justice and fbi to respond to congressional oversight. this is very important that they do so it is important that we have means to hold them accountable. it is important that peter strzok, we know he is biased against trump, that's a given. when he is testifying in front of congress i hope they ask a lot of questions about the russia probe, who all was involved and how the fbi handled that. brian: thanks so much. appreciate it. >> thank you. brian: straight ahead, what is the real story what is hopping at our border?

>> i think they're missing the fact that it will be important for students to develop the ability to articulate why they disagree with people. that is skill you need no matter what you do after you graduate from college. so i think it is important for administrations not just promote social tolerance, the idea that you fell welcome and included but also political tolerance. ainsley: we can learn so much from this. look what is happening in d.c. you have lawmakers, interns screaming the "f" word to our president all on the hill, inside of the chambers. just everyone is so angry and mad at one another. what is your advice to the law makers? chuck schumer is saying this is up to the president. i will not even look at legislation about separating moms from their kids. what is your message to the folks in washington? >> my message would be that we should first, we have to do a better job of listening. we have to see where we find common ground in order to move forward. even if it is small and difficult and arduous. we have to strive. brian: you're only listening sometimes, when it comes to health care, certain things about conservatives posing you like. about your background. you grew up with a mom who is schizophrenic. who was wonderful person. you ended up leaving her because it was stressful. going to a school, mostly white, williams college, very elite, how does that form who you are today?

why some people say america is too skewed against african-americans. you don't have that? >> no. there is no anger. for me, anger gets in the way of building understanding. i think it gets in the way of empathy. what i try to do first is listen. after you listen you can see where the differences. steve: you were not only at intersection of black and white america like the book but you were at the intersection between rich and poor. >> there were big economic differences when i went to private school in the fourth grade, very apparently overwhelmingly majority of students lived affluent life-styles. steve: how did that impact you?

they're not part of a family unit. these weren't children taken away from parents. these were children smuggled into this country by criminal organizations. these parents separated themselves. most of these kids get released to illegal ayen parent or relative in the united states. the decision was made by that family to put that child in the trunk of a car, or back of a tractor-trailer, hire a criminal organization to transport the child to the united states state but the u.s. government is the bad guy? we take pretty good care of these children in our custody. that is not talked about who the children really are. brian: to have round numbers, if i believe the homeland security secretary and i do, over 12,000 come here recently. out of the 12,000, only 2,000 have come, been separated. 2300 and some separated from their families. do you that process with the 2300, would you label that humane? >> i would say that we care for these people very well. look, i have said 100 times, done a lot of interviews, separating families is unfortunate and sad but we have to enforce the law. american families, this is something you don't hear either, american families get separated everyone when someone is prosecuted, arrested, criminally charged with a crime. that is the way the system works. these parents, they don't have to be separated. they can enter through a port of 10try and not be separated they made a choice to enter the country illegal i, a violation of law. this president, this secretary, this attorney general and this director had enough. we have to enforce the law. can't ask the united states border agent stand in the line while someone violates the law, commit immigration fraud to be released in society. the underlying problem that we're trying to address, let's be clear to american people what is happening. until this zero tolerance policy with, very families coming up, claiming fear and persecution. they are coached what to say. very low bar. they get released. many of them don't show up in court. when they do show up in court they fail to leave. 80% are losing their cases. they fail to leave. now they're this society. 10 years from now, we'll find them. they will have a u.s. citizen child. everybody will be outraged, why do you arrest somebody been here 10 years have u.s. citizen child? we have to stop sending message to the rest of the world it is okay to violate laws and hide out successfully and you're fine. people are dying coming into this country. we keep enticing them ignoring the rule of law. ainsley: thomas, can you piggyback what brian asked you, you've been asked by other networks if this is human and what happens to the kid. we hear they are reunited with parents after 20 days. >> first of all it is not inhuman. what is inhumane putting your child in the trunk after car. what inhuman, taking child across the river. if they want to see inhumane inma'ams i will show you images. a five-year-old boy died in the arms of his father because tractor-trailer because he suffocated. i will show you images of people that died because they're working with a smuggling organization. that inhumane. if anybody goes to these facilities. these facilities are well cared for. as far as reunification of families of the as soon as the parent is addressed by the u.s. magistrate, addressed to criminal charges, we have a process with health and human services to reunite the families. steve: i saw a number on axe sy soes. the federal government spends $775 on each one of these kids per day in these tent cities. so let me ask you this. you've been in law enforcement your whole career. you know that if you listen to the democrats the president could change the law and say, hey, i.c.e. guys, don't enforce the law, or congress could do something. right now there are a couple of bills being considered. a couple more are being written. what is your mess haj to the members of congress who could hold the answer in your hands? >> stop vilifying the men and women of border patrol, i.c.e. agents, american heroes who put their life on the line. they're enforcing the laws that you, congress, enacted. congress needs to do their job. they can fix it. the president is right on point. the scenario i just gave you, more and more families are coming. got lost in society. they refuse to follow a judge's order. if you or i would ignore a judge's order, we would be arrested. people want different set of rules for illegal aliens. that shouldn't be the way it is. as far as, i see a lot of tweets from new york congressman. how soon they forget what happened in new york at the hands of people in the country illegally. we got to have rule of law this country. this president is doing its job. he is trying to secure the border. i would think whether you're republican or democrat you would want a border secured. if we get right to the meat of the, meat and potatoes of this, they want these people to see a judge, they want to be able to claim fear and want their cases heard. we're willing to do that the but congress can make one change. make it legal for to us detain them as family together until they see a judge. had you ever, once a judge makes that decision we need to stand by it, not tell i.c.e. agents, leave them alone. we have to stand by the rule of law. that is our job as a nation. brian: a lot of these photos are coming out, or descriptions what is happening in the facilities, painting a picture less than favorable, there are a lot of pictures in 2014 and 2013 show similar situations. here we go in 2014. where was the outrage on that, kids alone without families that doesn't seem like the best conditions. it beats hanging out in the desert. i'm sure it is a lot better than that some say this is better than the countries they came from. i let all the experts be the judge. why is there outrage now and not then? >> it is political. it is political. i'm a career law enforcement officer. bottom line is i don't think congress wants to fix it. there is certain segment those on the hill want this to be issue. they can easily fix it, want families to stay together. make a change to the ppra trafficking act. detain families several weeks to see a judge. steve: as a unit. >> they don't want to fix it. they want it to be a issue. brian: could the president do this as executive order, keep families together, build more facilities get them in front of a judge or immediately turn them around the minute she show up? >> the president's hands are tied. there is legislation that limit how long we can detain children. congress can really fix it. congress is placing the blame. i've been doing this 34 years. immigration has been a problem 34 years. rather than going down to the dog and pony shows on the southwest border, rather than vilifying the men and women of i.c.e., rather than call us nazis and racists sit down and fix it. detain the families. i want them to have the hearings. i want them to see a judge, when we release them, they don't show up in court. if they want to make a claim, talk to a judge. when that decision is made, most are frivolous claims they need to go home. we did that fy-14 started surge. we held them long enough to see the judge. most lost the cases. got on a plane, went home. numbers went down. they figured out loopholes. now we can only detain two weeks. can't do the process two weeks, get released in society. that is enticement for more illegal entry. the american people need to understand you're being fed falsehood by many people in the media and hill. really sad where we're at with the country on this issue. steve: thank you for sharing your expertise with us. >> thank you. steve: all right. coming up, call it a windy city washout. many chicago homeowners are struggling to stay above water. are the city's liberal policies to blame as some way?

and why is chicago not rebounding from the housing market or crisis? >> the problem is, ainsley, with the politics that is there, the amount of crime and the blighted areas where a lot of this is being affected its actually affecting the overall values of chicago. now you have beautiful areas. it is always going to appreciate but the overall way that they have handled the problem with crime, the fact that we see how many murders there are every year is not good for any city. surely there is an effect on the value of real estate particularly in the blighted areas. ainsley: it is not very attractive when you know the crime rate is the way it is. >> sure. ainsley: why are underwater homeowners in a bind? how did they get there? they're owing more than their house is worth, the study says sometimes twice as much? >> the thing really sad, 2018, we're still talking about underwater property. the bottom line is, they're stuck because the only way they get it back to where they have to have value, they have to put money into it. if your house is worth 300,000, and you owe 500,000 or 150,000 and only worth 100,000 you have to come up with the difference to get it back to where it should be. that is a lot of money. people don't have it. the economy in that area has been affected. it has a result. that is why you have this report come out, this fabulous city of chicago is being affected by some political issues as well as the effect of underwater property in 2018. this sounds like 10 years ago honestly. it's a shame it is happening. >> bob, real quickly, how do you get out of the negative situation?
